i was the soil
you grew your roots right through me
i nourished you, became your sun
without the sun the moon don´t shine
the nights turn dark and cold
i held your branches
reflected all your beauty
the things about you, you didn´t value
i tried to convince you
of your own strength
but anytime i went away
you lost your balance
we all have our labels
of what we´ve learned ´bout love
everybody seems to know exactly
what love means
but we are living dependency
we´re living posession
we rarely live freedom
but that´s how i like it to be
you gave warmth to me
became my harbour to come back to
during times your feet
were firmly on the ground
i felt securely loved
until you got lost in me
and needed me to make you whole
we all have our labels
of what we´ve learned ´bout love
everybody seems to know exactly
what love means
but we are living addiction
we´re living obsession
we rarely live freedom
i knew that someday
i would have to leave you
so you´d let your roots grow
into your own soil
become your own strong tree,
with a trunk and branches and leaves,
stretching out far
with abundance of fruit
emerging from self-love
we all have our labels
of what we´ve learned ´bout love
everybody seems to know exactly
what love means
but we are living dependency,
we´re living posession,
we rarely live freedom
we all have our labels
of what we´ve learned ´bout love
everybody seems to know exactly
what love means
it´s no addiction, no obsession,
no dependency, no,
no we rarely live freedom
but that´s how i like it to be
