Ain't it funny how we pretend we're still a child
Softly stolen under our blanket skies
And rescue me from me and all that I believe
I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should I fall from grace here with you
Will you leave me too?
Carve out your heart for keeps in an old oak tree
Hold me for goodbyes and whispered lullabies
And tell me I am still
The man I'm supposed to be
I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should I fall from grace here with you
Will you leave me too?
Will you leave me too?
Too late to turn back now, I'm running out of sound
And I am changing, changing
And if we died right now, this fool you love somehow
Is here with you
I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should I fall from grace here with you
Would you leave me too?
Would you leave me too?
Softly stolen under our blanket skies
And rescue me from me and all that I believe
I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should I fall from grace here with you
Will you leave me too?
Carve out your heart for keeps in an old oak tree
Hold me for goodbyes and whispered lullabies
And tell me I am still
The man I'm supposed to be
I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should I fall from grace here with you
Will you leave me too?
Will you leave me too?
Too late to turn back now, I'm running out of sound
And I am changing, changing
And if we died right now, this fool you love somehow
Is here with you
I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should I fall from grace here with you
Would you leave me too?
Would you leave me too?

This song has always resonated with me. I finally figured out why. It only took losing the love of my life.
I have Asperger's syndrome. it is a form of Autism that affects how I interpret the world, It affects my ability to communicate effectively and deal with social situations and stimulus.
For nearly 20 years I have also identified as a Dominant and all my relationships have been M/s.
The two combined have destroyed most of my relationships. I now understand why. I now know why this song has always resonated.
For me it is about the insecurities of being able to show your partner your weak side when you're supposed to be anything but. The fear that this will change her perception of you. The inability to let her be there for you when you need her most. The fear that she will leave you like so many others have if you show her a weak side.
I'm almost certain I have lost her because I couldn't let her be there for me when I needed her to be. I'm fairly certain she would have been too. I hate having Asperger's.
