In My Own Way

In My Own Way

I gathered a mountain
An ocean of teardrops
A castle of break-ups
To hide myself in

I’ve waited a lifetime
For someone to find me
For someone to reach me
Somewhere to begin

Now I’m a woman
I can tell by the look in your eyes
We’re no strangers
I can tell by the way that you smile

I’ve painted the sunsets
The dawnings I’ve missed you
The hours I’ve kissed you
To keep my heart alive

It’s the heat of your breathing
The way you are whispering
The urge of your wanting
I can’t leave you behind

Now I’m a woman
I can tell by the look in your eyes
We’re no strangers
I can tell by the waves in the night

You bring a little hope, bring a little love

I don’t want to own you
I don’t want to lead you
I just want to love you

In my own way
