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
