Ten Years

(album: Gravity & Grace - 2009)

I have now followed your footprints for years
And I've seen how you're running in circles
And trying to find someone to hold on to
Something to belong to
You don't feel at home do you?
Love, you say that it's love that you need
But somehow I find it hard to believe
He learned to love you

You have now stopped for the first time in ages
And you've seen just how small the cage is
Where you have trapped your body and soul
Since you were twenty years old
You believed when he told you
He said love, I'll give you the love that you need
You need more of this than me can't you see
Who you belong to?

Now it's been a long time
You can do better
You can do more with life than this
Ten years has now gone by
You can do better
You are worth so much more than him
Now it's been a long time
You can do better
You can do more with life than he will ever know

I have now followed your footsteps around
And I'm liking the sound
Of your tapping feet
As you find the time of your own beat
As you dance your doubt away

Now it's been a long time
You can do better
You can do more with life than this
Ten years has now gone by
You can do better
You are worth so much more than him
Now it's been a long time
You can do better
You are worth so much more than him
Ten years has now gone by
You can do better
You can do more with life than he will ever
He can never know
