I felt the closing walls,
trouble on the rise.
You didn't have to say a word,
I saw it in your eyes.
Opened up my soul,
showed it you inside.
I'm not too proud to say out loud
I'm happier I cried.
A shield of misty gray
we'll gladly leave behind.
A restless youth gave way to truth
and now to peace of mind.
We'll ride the wings of love,
a maze of tears have gone.
Good riddance to the pain we knew.
A new day's finally dawned.
And I don't wanna run your life,
I just wanna share a space.
I just wanna be the one who puts
a smile upon your face.
Friends will come and go.
I don't mind if they do.
The role they play, I'm sad to say,
is small compared to you.
People will always talk
and I don't care, do you?
Smaller minds you will always find
have nothing else to do.
Oceans rise and fall
and meadows washed in rain.
We cast aside the tears we cried
and lived to love again.
I told you once before,
I'll tell you once again.
You make mistakes, that's what it takes.
Life fools you now and then.
I'm happier to find
that both of us could grow.
Mistakes were made, so turn the page
'cuz life goes on, you know.
I don't wanna run your life,
I just wanna share a space.
Let me be the one who puts
a smile upon your face.
I'm happier to know,
I'm happier to see
that open every door, inside
our lives will still be free.
I don't wanna run your life,
I just wanna share your space.
I just wanna be the one who puts
a smile upon your face.
