I love the time and in between 

the calm inside me 

in the space where I can breathe 

I believe there is a 

distance I have wandered 

to touch upon the years of 

reaching out and reaching in 

holding out holding in 



I believe 

this is heaven to no one else but me 

and I'll defend it as long as I can be 

left here to linger in silence 

if I choose to 

would you try to understand 



I know this love is passing time 

passing through like liquid 

I am drunk in my desire... 

but I love the way you smile at me 

I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near... 

I believe... 



I believe 

this is heaven to no one else but me 

and I'll defend it as long as 

I can be left here to linger in silence 

if I choose to 

would you try to understand 



Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free 

the mold that clings like desperation 

Mother can't you see I've got 

to live my life the way I feel is right for me 

might not be right for you but it's right for me... 

I believe... 



I believe 

this is heaven to no one else but me 

and I'll defend it as long as 

I can be left here to linger in silence 

if I choose to 

would you try to understand it 



I would like to linger here in silence 

if I choose to 

would you understand it 

would you try to understand...
