Kiss the Air

I heard this song for the first time this morning.  It made me think of my wife and of many, many others, both men and women, who find themselves in mixed orientation marriages.

If I stay with you

I would live a lie,

For you deserve a love

This heart cannot provide.

So I wish you well,

And be on my way.

I'm not the one who could

Give you what you need,

So I bid you farewell,

But don't you dare watch me leave.

I didn't mean to

Hurt you this way,

But I'm not what you need,

So I guess I'll just be on my way.

One day you'll wake up,

And thank me for what I did

When you're living your happy life

Behind your white fence,

New husband, and kids.

Like a captured bird

Who yearns to sail the sky,

I will unlock your cage now,

So prepare to fly.

And I'll kiss the air,

And hope it finds you well.

Goodbye.

I'm not the one who could

Give you what you need,

So I bid you farewell,

But don't you dare watch me leave.

I didn't mean to

Hurt you this way,

But I'm not what you need,

So I guess I'll just be on my way.

One day you'll wake up,

And thank me for what I did

When you're living your happy life

Behind your white fence,

New husband, and kids.

I didn't mean to

Hurt you this way,

But I'm not what you need,

So I guess I'll just be on my way.

One day you'll wake up,

And thank me for what I did

When you're living your happy life

Behind your white fence,

New husband, and kids.

So I'll kiss the air,

And hope it finds you well.

Goodbye.
