Bethany Joy Lenz - I believe

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'll choose to
would you try to understand?

Oh, a quiet child awaits the day
when she can break free
from all that clings like desperation.

Oh, mother, don't you see what I've got
to live my life the way I feel is right for me?
You say it's not right for you,
but it's right for me!

I belive 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'll choose to
would you try to undestand?
