Hunter
µÙ¶äDido Lyrics

With one light on in one room
I know you're waiting for me to come home.

I know you're up when I get home
I can sense your presence when I arrive.

With one small step upon the stair
I can feel myself getting closer to you.

I know your look when I get there
I know exactly how you're going to look at me.

If you were a king up there on your throne
If you were in a position of power over me.

Would you be wise enough to let me go
Would you be mature enough to release me from this relationship.

For this queen you think you own
For the person you believe you have control over.

Wants to be a hunter again
Desires to rediscover the joys of independence and freedom.

I want to see the world alone again
I yearn for the chance to experience new things on my own.

To take a chance on life again
To have the opportunity to take risks and follow my own path.

So let me go
Please allow me to move on from this relationship.

The unread book and painful look
The tension between us is palpable, and we're avoiding the real issues.

The TV's on, the sound is down
We're using distractions to fill the uncomfortable silence.

One long pause
A moment of awkward silence between us.

Then you begin
You start to speak again, but we're not really communicating.

Oh look what the cat's brought in
A comment that implies I'm causing trouble or chaos by wanting to leave.

For the crown you've placed upon my head feels too heavy now
The weight of the commitments and expectations in this relationship are too much for me to bear.

And I don't know what to say to you but I'll smile anyhow
I'm struggling to find the right words to express how I'm feeling, but I'm trying to keep a brave face.

And all the time I'm thinking, thinking
My mind is preoccupied with the idea of leaving and starting anew.

Let me leave
This is my final plea for freedom from this relationship.

Let me go.
Please allow me to go and pursue my own destiny.
