I'm never scared to tell you everything I want to be Me, I'm receptive, and for that I don't need sympathy Is it too much for you to come and meet me in between? One foot out the door, I know you usually don't play for keeps (Ohh) I came alone, you're close to the edge If I let go, how close will you get? Well, every piece of me held on to you when I pulled away But I can't stay, I can't stay And I'm hoping I can save this Though I can't always see the other side Some days I couldn't face you So I went collecting stones from many different tides But it won't stop me from walking as tall as I am I can't wonder why, whatever keeps you up at night doesn't wake me up too And that's not a letter goodbye But I can't take your hand if you don't want this life I'm never scared to tell you everything I want to be Me, I'm receptive, and for that I don't need sympathy Is it too much for you to come and meet me in between? One foot out the door, I know you usually don't play for keeps (Ohh) I came alone, you're close to the edge If I let go, how close will you get? Well, every piece of me held on to you when I pulled away But I can't stay, I can't stay Our energies fight to find a middle ground Stable now, fastened with shoestrings And I want you to know, it's okay It won't break me if it is you that I'm losing Cause it's been the best thing for me to spend my time with you You are the sound of the birds and the morning due You are the sun shinning down to make the flowers bloom And I could go tomorrow, knowing it was always you Promise that I'm on my way to you This is a never ending rollercoaster I must say I'm taking my chances and learning to follow through All the money in the world can't make me feel the same I promise that I'm on my way to you And I'll do the best I can to give you every part of me Even when you tell me there's nothing I can do And I'll be happy even if you don't decide to stay I'm never scared to tell you everything I want to be Me, I'm receptive, and for that I don't need sympathy Is it too much for you to come and meet me in between? One foot out the door, I know you usually don't play for keeps (Ohh) I came alone, you're close to the edge If I let go, how close will you get? Well, every piece of me held on to you when I pulled away But I can't stay, I can't stay Cause it's been the best thing for me to spend my time with you You are the sound of the birds and the morning due You are the sun shinning down to make the flowers bloom And I could go tomorrow, knowing it was always you
