My Version of You - Beth Crowley

I probably looked at you a thousand times, I never really saw you

I had a picture of you in my mind I thought you could live up to

You drew a line between us in the sand, the tide came and washed it away

But god it felt amazing when you held my hand like you heard everything I

wasn’t brave enough to say

I put you on a pedestal, gave you so far to fall

I came to see that knowing you wasn’t knowing you at all

So can we go back to when I thought you were perfect?

I wanna believe in your mystery

'Cause you’re the dream I had for so much of my life

Who will I become if I give you up?

So even if it’s not true

I want another moment with my version of you

I saw you floating in a crystal sky but you were always out of my reach

How come I never stopped to wonder why it was okay you didn’t need me?

Somewhere inside of me I think I know we’re not the people that we were then

I watched you leave but I can’t let you go

In spite of everything it doesn’t feel like it’s the end

My paper thin arguments don’t hold weight anymore

The paths we chose will never lead to the way things were before

But can we go back to when I thought you were perfect?

I wanna believe in your mystery

'Cause you’re the dream I had for so much of my life

Who will I become if I give you up?

So even if it’s not true

I want another moment with my version of

You are a figment of my imagination

You are a being of my own creation

I wish you could exist no other way than this

So can we go back to when I thought you were perfect?

I wanna believe in your mystery

'Cause you’re the dream I had for so much of my life

Who will I become if I give you up?

Can we go back to when I thought you were perfect?

I wanna believe in your mystery

'Cause you’re the dream I had for so much of my life

Who will I become if I give you up?

So even if it’s not true

I want another moment with my version of you
