carly z - yes lyrics

i know that look so well by now
the one that says i don’t know how you do it
how do you do it
their eyes search mine for signs of life
the way they have come to define it won
and finding none
they go on their way
and before they go
they say

aren’t you afraid
aren’t you sorry to be far from those who raised you
aren’t you ashamed
of your childless way
and your childish faith
and i say
that nothing i’ve been taught to be
has satisfied the core of me
and though the answer may not be
in so many foreign seas
swimming in the watеr
helps the free in me to brеathe
the love i need won’t let me lie
so though fear crawls in the bed at night
mine eyes have seen the glory
of a different kind of story
so i will sail across the vastness of
the life unlived before me

i know that look so well by now
the one he gives saying how could you do this
you don’t have to do this
his eyes search mine and can’t decide
what makes him not enough to satisfy me
and resignedly
he goes on his way
but before he goes
he says

are you okay
what the h+ll would make you raze what we’ve created
can’t you behave
what do you gain
from running away
and i say
that nothing i’ve been taught to be
has satisfied the core of me
and although i cause you pain
and it k!lls me every day
the true death of me will come
when i let you stand in my way
the love i feel won’t let me lie
so i’m sorry but i can’t deny
what’s coursing through my veins
needs a nearer kind of strength
so i will let them bleed in battle for
the life that they contain

so i wish for you what i have found
not answers, shelters, golden crowns
but only living boldly
despite the things that people say
the lives they have made you forsake
don’t let your heart forget
it belongs in your own chest
and before you go, let it say yes

before you go, let it say yes
