Part of me
ran away today
it said to me
'I'll always be part of you
but I must go my own way'
and I watched it leave
I let it go away
But now I know
you must have all of yourself
any other way is like a thousand deaths
that never end
So I chase after it
But it's changed since it left
It's changed to a shape that will never fit
