Rushana - Orbiting

Once, I heard someone say
That every hello is a goodbye waiting
And I took those words to heart
To shield it from breaking

Once, I heard someone say
That in love you must be brave
But this I could no longer dare
The peril was too grave

And I didn't want to stay
And I didn't want to go
Looking for what love is all about
And I didn't want to stay
And I didn't want to go
Looking for the fastest way out
I kept my distance, orbiting

Like Venus, I strayed too close to the Sun
And I was burnt, and I learned how to run
And as I ran
I ran too far
I began to freeze
I could find no ease

And so I was in a strange place
Watching others taking part in love's great race
Watching them collide and drift off-course
Asking why, when I was safe, I still felt remorse
And I didn't want to stay
And I didn't want to go
I kept my distance, orbiting

And I didn't want to stay
And I didn't want to go
Looking for what love is all about
And I didn't want to stay
And I didn't want to go
Looking for the fastest way out
I kept my distance, orbiting

And I didn't want to stay
And I didn't want to go
Looking for what love is all about
And I didn't want to stay
And I didn't want to go
Looking for the fastest way out
I kept my distance, orbiting
