‘Away without leaving’ this person was physically there in the relationship but was unable to be
completely transparent which led to the eventual demise of the relationship. She was going
through things which she wouldn’t tell me so I couldn’t behave accordingly to ensure that the
relationship would continue. It ended so abruptly that I was wishing and praying she would come
back.
lyrics
[Intro]
Was lost now I'm found
Head high between the clouds
You brought me down to earth
Babe you don’t know your worth
[Verse 1]
Helped me up when I was on the floor
Gave me keys to open the door
Made me love myself so I could love another
The line was always open if I was in trouble
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I can say what you meant to me
Unlock my shackles, now my heart is allowed to flee
To a person who is willing and worthy
[Chorus]
Was lost now I’m found
Head high between the clouds
You brought me down to earth
Babe you don’t know your worth
[Verse 2]
You were my muse and all of the above
I don’t believe in drugs but I believe in love
Extend a beige branch if I was ever in need
Never knew your palm was vital
Now I feel complete
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I can say what you meant to me
Unlock my shackles now my heart is allowed to flee
To a person who is willing and worthy
(You brought me down to the ground
Now I am safe and sound)
[Chorus]
Was lost now I’m found (You brought me down to the ground
Now I am safe and sound)
Head high between the clouds (You brought me down to the ground
Now I am safe and sound)
You brought me down to earth (You brought me down to the ground
Now I am safe and sound)
Babe you don’t know your worth (You brought me down to the ground
Now I am safe and sound)
[Bridge]
Grown into what I can see in the mirror, (oh yes)
The future was blurred, now I can see much clearer
[Pre-Chorus]
No I can say what you meant to me
Unlock my shackles now my, heart is allowed to flee
To a person
Who is willing and worthy
(You brought me down to the ground
Now I am safe and sound)
[Chorus] x 2
Was lost now I’m found (You brought me down to the ground, now I am safe and sound)
Head high between the clouds (You brought me down to the ground, now I am safe and sound)
You brought me down to earth (You brought me down to the ground, now I am safe and sound)
Babe you don’t know your worth (You brought me down to the ground, now I am safe and sound)
[Outro] x 6
Now I know, I’m sure of my purpose
A lot of things but I know I’m not worthless
I love that you’re here, I love that you’re around
