Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been looking behind, bridge burned
I can see the flames
All these mountains were mine, returned
But things have changed
I think I'd just rather be alone, tonight
If that's ok
[Verse 2]
Honestly, it was time
That made me feel like I faced my fears till I made it here
Now I don't know where to stand
But I know it's not over
If I'm losing touch
If I love too much
I'll just leave it up to chance
That's just the woman
[Verse 3]
Who's always looking beside
My friends have all been paid
Is the river running dry?
I wish to feel no shame
I run both my hands down
And I find, a different shape
[Verse 4]
Honestly, it was time
That made me feel like I faced my fears till I made it here
Now I don't know where to stand
But I know it's not over
If I'm losing touch
If I love too much
I'll just leave it up to chance
That's just the woman I am
[Verse 5]
Suddenly I see an hourglass, it seems so still
I wake up and I'm ten years older
Time's been running like sand
Free-falling through the photographs that paid my bills
I'm done listening to another man's music
So I'm leaving with a drink in my hand
[Verse 6]
I faced my fears till I made it here
Now I don't know where to stand
Oh, but I know it's not over
If I'm losing touch
If I love too much
I'll just leave it up to chance
That's just the woman I am
(That's just the woman I am)
(That's just the woman I am)
(That's just the woman I am)
[Verse 7]
If I'm losing touch
If I love too much
I'll just leave it up to chance
That's just the woman I am
