So we like a reason so we don’t forget our place
If we lie a little we might just be getting brave
and I like the feeling of just knowing things are rolling
even if I don’t know better or worse where we’re going.

Things are slowly falling into play
I won’t be making the same mistake again
who would ever know the dreams I have
or the execution of the things I had

If you want the real world and we need the things we fight
getting bold and trying to be quiet to be boring
where’d we find another who won’t challenge me much harder
I won’t close my life off to protect from something faster

Things are slowly falling into play
I won’t be making the same mistake again
who would ever know the dreams I had
or the execution of the things I have

I thought I could be the one who stays, but I’m not so sure I have that kind of patience
everything was so much harder we hadn’t even gotten started
You’re full of possibilities, show me something to believe in
when we are pulling sideways
knowing that we’re always changing always finding ways to best fit you in

And making that space
Losing something more than just knowing how it should have been.

We don’t know the kind of mess we’re in but I’m trying to figure it out
I take the best I know and compromise my own decisions
making sure that we will never fall in
beyond our own depths
deeper than the sting I feel when we do not give in for too long

I know that it’s way beyond control
but I’d like to think that we can make it better.
When I’m giving you my all I want to know you’ll give your all too
We can meet in the middle
See how long you hold your patience
Test yourself as much as you test me too

And then I will know
I’m not wasting time on something so beyond me
tell me so.

I refuse to feel guilty about this
I refuse to let this get me down
I have done wrong and I don’t doubt it
But you are wrong to judge me this way

There is nothing I can say now
That will change the way you feel
You should never have listened to me
Now I’ve broken your heart instead

I would have said that I was sorry
But you will not hear those words from my mouth
I don’t need you to make me feel bad
I do that well enough by myself

I didn’t know that you were not happy
I didn’t try to change things around
Now there you go you’re chucking a wobbly
And I just don’t know what the hell I should do

I do not want to feel like the bad guy
And that’s hard after what you said
Is it my fault if I feel smothered
By your concern for me well now

I would have said that I was sorry
But you will not hear those words from my mouth
I don’t need you to make me feel bad
I do that well enough by myself

Long after the boy found himself at my door
take him in with love, he leaves me half destroyed
strong and steady steps, upon the world you dance
keep myself as one though my heart it does collapse

And I feel like I can’t do this anymore
And I feel frustrated
And I feel like I can’t do this anymore
And I feel my time has been wasted

Long after the boy took me into his heart
He takes me all inside then he pulls it all apart
Surely I am smart, I am smart enough to see
Life without this boy is surely better off for me.

There it goes now, it’s taken from me
and I’m silent, I can’t speak or sing.
What ever happened to cures or colds.
It’s gone before you know it, but this ones taking hold.

This one’s taking hold.

She assures me it will go away
and I’m trusting, I’m hoping, I pray.
That I won’t have to worry about it anymore
but it just isn’t budging and this I can’t ignore.

This one’s taking hold.
