She had a feeling he would come by
And she hates it when she’s right
But who’s not flattered by attention
Who isn’t lonely in the middle of the night?
There’s a time and a place to say no
Without breaking his heart
But when the late-night ship has sailed
You bite your tongue and you ride it out
And for now when she says jump
He only says “how high”
But neither one can scale
The mountain that’s inside
She knows there’s more to passion
Once she had a taste
And when she overcomes the numbness
She’ll come face to face with herself
And let go of his heart
She went by to say she’s sorry
For the words that wouldn’t come
She knows she needs to ask forgiveness
She doesn’t know from which one
And she tries to pour her heart out
But the words choke on her tongue
And she’s looking for the answers
That aren’t gonna come
From inside her battered heart
Til she turns her fears inside
And sees sometimes a free ride
Is not a free ride
She knows there’s more to passion
Once she had a taste
And when she overcomes the numbness
She’ll come face to face with herself
And let go of his heart
And the irony escapes her now
Cuz it’s just too much to bear
When she finally looks in the mirror now
There’s always someone else standing there
And they both deserve better now
But she’s got just so much to give
And only when she speaks her truth
Can they both let go and live
She knows there’s more to passion
Once she had a taste
And when she overcomes the numbness
She’ll come face to face with herself
And let go of his heart
