I'm a dreamer But it's hard to sleep when your head's not in it I've been restless 'Cause you disappeared and that's all that's missing The Earth is loose under my shoes There's an angel And he's shaped like you, and I thought I knew him There's a window And it's dark inside, but the light was in it This can't be love if it hurts so much I need to let go, oh I will survive and be the one who's stronger I will not beg you to stay I will move on and you should know I mean it Wild horses run in me I remember How we danced so close, I would stand on your feet And the phone calls That would last all night, they were lifeboats to me Our fading scars just shooting stars They're here, then go I will survive and be the one who's stronger I will not beg you to stay I will move on and you should know I mean it Wild horses run in me Our human hearts forget how strong they are And they get lost along the way, hey It's not giving up, it's letting go And moving to a better place I will survive and be the one who's stronger I will not beg you to stay I will move on and you should know I mean it Wild horses run in me I will survive and be the one who's stronger I will not beg you to stay I will move on and you should know I mean it Wild horses run in me
