[Verse 1]
I love the time and in between
The calm inside me
In the space where I can breathe
I believe there is a distance I have wandered
To touch upon the years of
Reaching out and reaching in
Holding out, holding in

[Chorus]
I believe
This is heaven to no one else but me
And I'll defend it long as
I can be left here to linger in silence
If I choose to
Would you try to understand?

[Verse 2]
I know this love is passing time
Passing through like liquid I am
I'm drunk in my desire
But I love the way you smile at me
I love the way your hands reach out and
Hold me near
I believe, I
[Chorus]
I believe
This is heaven to no one else but me
And I'll defend it long as
I can be left here to linger in silence
If I choose to
Would you try to understand?

[Verse 3]
Oh the quiet child
Awaits the day when she can break free
The mold that clings like desperation
Mother can't you see I've got
To live my life the way I feel is
Right for me
Might not be right for you but it's
Right for me
Oh

[Chorus]
I believe
This is heaven to no one else but me
And I'll defend it long as
I can be left here to linger in silence
If I choose to
Would you try to understand it?
I would like to linger here in silence
If I choose to
Would you understand it?
Would you try?
[Outro]
Would you try to understand?
