I'll stay out of your way I held your hand as I spoke those words to you That was all, no tears to fall I am what you made me, I am cold and strong and numb And you'd be proud of how I'm holding out And please don't let me disappear You don't have to keep me near Just close enough to think of you When there's an unobstructed view We began a series of plans And now we are parallel washed from separate strands And we relied on clear line of sight I won't break the distance, I will always stay my ground I'll make you proud, I'm holding out Please don't let me disappear You don't have to keep me near Just close enough to think of you When there's an unobstructed view And please don't let me disappear Not out of love for me, my dear But I know how you hate the sound Of your own voice in an empty house
