Laura Miller - White Knuckles

I'm scared unconditional becomes conditions based
What's the worse than being broken is a crack in the vase
Still useful when you need it, but it's just not the same
Is a rose still sweet by any other name?
Ooh, cause I hold on to love with white knuckles
Gripped so tight it can't slip away from me
Perfection is my preferred notion of security
I'd rather be alone than lonely in your company
What if it falls and we say we forgive
The pieces put back together
But resentment still lives
Is what's fractured ever whole?
Is there beauty in the pain?
Is love still valuable even when it's tired and drained?
Ooh, cause I hold on to love with white knuckles
Gripped so tight it can't slip away from me
Perfection is my preferred notion of security
I'd rather be alone than lonely in your company
We'll take our love and lace it in gold
Releasing what we cannot control
A love that's real is what I wanna know
Not all things break when I let them go
Ooh, cause I'm letting go of white knuckles
Gripped so tight it can't slip away from me
Perfection is my preferred notion of security
I'd rather be alone than lonely in your company
