Lyrics As He Pleases - Kate Walsh

I have learned not to ask
Not to let him know that I'm feeling
'Cause in a cup he collects all that I was ever dreaming
And he scatters it to the sea and says he's leaving
And suddenly I feel that I've stopped breathing.

I can't pretend to be strong,
Not when he's the one I'm needing.
They are wrong when they tell me I'd do better just to leave him
'Cause he takes me to a place that I can breath in,
But all I can do is watch him leaving.

Why can't I think of anything before him?
Am I just a soul waiting for him?

I don't want to know.
No, it's better not to know.
And he can come and go
As he pleases.

So I have learned not to ask,
Not to let him know that I miss him.
'Cause I am so terrified to cool the fire in case I lose him.
And I know he doesn't know just what he's doing.
And he has no idea how far I'm falling.

Why can't I think of anything before him?
Am I just a soul waiting for him?

I don't want to know.
No, it's better not to know.
He doesn't want to show,
So it's better not to know.
And he can come and go as he pleases.
