We started off, lazily
Enjoying the time, easily.
And it was all just for fun.
Simple to walk away, when we were done.
But then there was, a deep kiss.
A conversation turned, serious.
And suddenly I’m falling in
To a situation, I can’t win.
But you are not ready to commit.
Your heart is not in this.
You want your cake and eat it too,
And that is exactly what I let you do.
And I’m scared.
You’ll find your way out of here.
And what will I do?
When the best part of me is wrapped up in you.
And how long, can we carry on?
And pretend like this won’t hurt, when it’s gone.
I can try, and bury the feelings I have inside.
But it’s a long way back, to that.
What do you expect me to do?
When I am falling for you.
You want me to be yours.
But you’re still lookin’ for a better girl.
And it’s not fair, to keep me here, until you find her.
Even though I know I’m not enough.
It doesn’t change that I want you so much.
Let me move on.
Maybe you can feel some of this hurt when I’m gone.
But I know what you will do.
Give me just enough of you.
So I keep holding on. Instead.
I know I am being misled.
But I can’t seem to walk away.
So I’ll stay. I’ll stay.
And I’m scared.
You’ll find your way out of here.
And what will I do?
When the best part of me is wrapped up in you.
And how long, can we carry on?
And pretend like this won’t hurt, when it’s gone.
And here you sit now, asking me to give more and more somehow.
But with my heart on the line.
I rather take back what is mine.
Maybe I’m stronger than you think.
Maybe I’ve got a voice and I want to speak.
I’ve done all I can.
And I think I want to find a better man.
And I’m scared.
I won’t find my way out of here.
And what will I do?
If I can’t escape you?
How long, can I carry on?
And pretend like this won’t hurt, when I’m gone.
But I will be soon.
Oh the sweet surrender of losing you.
