lyrics

Here’s everything I never told you
I was mad at you for months I’m barely over it
And now I’ve got you close
I’m not quite sure what to make of it
Or what to do
Or what to think
It hurt like crazy when you told me no
But I didn’t dare to come and show you my broken heart
Or show you my pain
So I ran away

We both know that’s a lie
When it matters enough you make it
It’s OK either way
I’ll love you anyway
Drop you at your place and leave the way I came here
Barely a surprise
Lately you’ve been taking
Way too long to pick up that phone
I’ve watched you hesitating

Lately it feels like
All I do is keep my half of the deal
While you say you want one thing
Then act for another
I sent you a message
I'm dialing your number
Today was the day
We’d agreed upon
I'm here I'm on time
You're unreachable
You'll probably tell me that you couldn't
Be here and that you wish that you could have
Just like you do all the time

We both know that’s a lie
When it matters enough you make it
It’s OK either way
I’ll love you anyway
Drop you at your place and leave the way I came here
Barely a surprise
Lately you’ve been taking
Way too long to pick up that phone
I’ve watched you hesitating

Rise and find your power
That’s what your eyes were calling
I got the call but I didn’t act on it
I was too hurt to receive in the moment
Mood swings like the seasons
A whole year in every minute
I swear I’ll grow old before I get to witness
A pattern that can be recognized or predicted

We both know that’s a lie
When it matters enough you make it
It’s OK either way
I’ll love you anyway
Drop you at your place and leave the way I came here
Barely a surprise
Lately you’ve been taking
Way too long to pick up that phone
I’ve watched you hesitating
