Zoe Brush - Kites Lyrics

As the wind blows through the trees
I feel you all around me
I close my eyes and I know you're there

I held onto you like a kite
Far away and out of sight
Tied to you with a thread
Of hope that someday I'd change

Oh, why do I feel so alone now
You look so happy and free
And after all this time I should be
Better you'd think
But I had a love and a best friend
You always waited for me
But now you've flown away and I'm left
Holding the string

Sometimes when it's late at night
Barefoot on the kitchen tile
I pretend we're at my old apartment
Where we swayed back and forth

But now the only time we speak
Is when you meet me in my sleep
And I wonder if you're on the other side
Dancing with me

Oh, why do I feel so alone now
You look so happy and free
And after all this time I should be
Better you'd think
But I had a love and a best friend
You always waited for me
But now you've flown away and I'm left
Holding the string

Found out this December
Almost two years later
That you'd picked out a ring
You'd hoped to give to me

And I still see what could've been
The perfect house, white picket fence
Lying next to you in the grass
Watching the kites dance above
