Space In Your Embrace

We started out, just you and I
A spark that flew into the sky
Your love was warm, a sweet embrace
But now I find I need some space

I'm caught in a love that's too tight to breathe
In the chains of your arms, I'm starting to grieve
A smothering touch that I used to crave
Now it's pushing me to a love I must save

You say you love me, that much is clear
But your closeness is breeding fear
I miss the days of sweet reprieve
Now your shadows, they never leave

I'm caught in a love that's too tight to breathe
With every I miss you, I silently seethe
The passion we had now feels like a maze
In the cling of your love, I'm lost in a haze

I need to find me, outside your hold
Our love's turning from warm to cold
I wish you could see, it's not about blame
But love can't grow in a smothering flame

I remember the fights, the screams, the fire
The mess of love, the raw desire
Now it's silence, in your constant gaze
In the quiet, I long for those days

I need more than a love that's too tight to breathe
I need horizons, room to believe
In your embrace, I found my way
Now I'm searching for air, begging you to stay

If you love me, let me find my pace
In this dance of love, give me some space
Your grip is love, but let it be light
So we can love truly, in the day and the night
