Mia Zepeda: Music

These are for you

(Mia Zepeda)
On the inside of a folded note sent along side flowers
"These are for you", you wrote
And I just can't part with it, and I know I should
But with no one else except for you and I
are all of our complications understood

I've behaved myself for two years too long
But it's been long enough to know better than to be near you alone

On the other side of my bolted door
stands a man I shouldn't let in anymore
And I don't know what he's doing here
showing up on a whim
But I know I won't survive it if I open up this door to him

I've behaved myself for two years too long
But it's been long enough to know better than to be near you alone

On the inside of a broken heart
written on the walls as they fall apart
and on all of these pieces, these are for you
now that you're gone I just don't know what to do
what to do with them

I've behaved myself for two years too long
But it's been long enough to know better than to be near you alone

On the other side of the world I'm safe
from ever having to accidentally see your face
But I brought your photo along for the ride
Yeah, it occurred to me that maybe I'm not even on my own side

I've behaved myself for two years too long
But it's been long enough to know better than to be near you at all

Yeah it's been long enough to know better than to be near you alone
