I love the time and in between
 the calm inside me
 in the space where I can breathe
 I believe there is a
 distance I have wandered
 to touch upon the years of
 reaching out and reaching in
 holding out holding in
 I believe
 this is heaven to no one else but me
 and I'll defend it as long as I can be
 left here to linger in silence
 if I choose to
 would you try to understand
 I know this love is passing time
 passing through like liquid
 I am [bad word] in my desire...
 but I love the way you smile at me
 I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near...
 I believe...
 I believe
 this is heaven to no one else but me
 and I'll defend it as long as
 I can be left here to linger in silence
 if I choose to
 would you try to understand
 Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free
 the mold that clings like desperation
 Mother can't you see I've got
 to live my life the way I feel is right for me
 might not be right for you but it's right for me...
 I believe...
 I believe
 this is heaven to no one else but me
 and I'll defend it as long as
 I can be left here to linger in silence
 if I choose to
 would you try to understand it
 I would like to linger here in silence
 if I choose to
 would you understand it
 would you try to understand...
