Tough Love

You belong as far away from me as you can get
Without that cruel word goodbye
I was wrong, I thought that you would be good for me but
You cloud even perfect skies
And I don't want to bring you down
Just down to Earth for a minute, so maybe you see why
I don't want to keep you around
You took the keys without saying please and I hope that it made you proud, but

Tough luck, tough love is not what I came for
It's not enough to win me back again
Tough call to call you out for what you became but
When life gets tough you have to do the same

To be strong is really sometimes the hardest thing
When time isn't always kind
The days feel long and peace of mind is just counterfeit
Cos you're still there on the inside
And I don't want to waste my breath
So I learn to breathe a bit deeper so you might think I'm fine
And just focus on being myself
And take back the wheel cos I want to see how it feels when I get you out, cos

(chorus)

And I know that I'm not perfect, but I know that I'm alright
Even though I make mistakes from time to time
I'm only trying to see what I can be
So give me back the keys I'm not staying here with a love that'll bring me down cos
You belong as far away from me as you can get ...
