Lyrics A Race for Our Autonomy (Acoustic) - mae

I remember pacing back in forth in our cluttered room
In wait of your reply
That was the day I found the strength to say those things
And look you in the eye

The symbiotic nature of this bond is hardly paying in
Those dividends are shrinking again
With choices left to make and chains to break
To forfeit is to win

It seems you're catching on to me
You're onto me, I know
You've always been that part of me
That part that won't let go

A self-fulfilling prophecy
A heart that's frozen cold
When frightened by autonomy
We both refuse to grow

So I must ask

Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
There is no love in fear
So where do we go from here?

I know we've heard our share of broken promises
Yet hang on every word
But when the past becomes the present
Such resentment and hard lines getting blurred

Whoever got anywhere without the pulse
Of another beating heart?
Those memories are falling apart now
The choices left to make and chains to break
To forfeit is to start

It seems you're catching on to me
You're onto me, I know
You've always been that part of me
That part that won't let go

A self-fulfilling prophecy
A heart that's frozen cold
When frightened by autonomy
We both refuse to grow

So I must ask

Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
There is no love in fear
So where do we go from here?
