I'm lying to you, love
'Cause I don't really wanna talk
You'll say everything's not lost
But I still can't find the words
I know sometimes I don't let you in
When you wanna get under my skin
I'll just say something wrong
You know how I get, I just shut off
From the west coast out to Boston
Well, I guess somewhere I lost it
My false confidence is gonna have to take the mic
You don't understand, neither do I
So please don't take my silence for a lie
Can you stay long enough
To shatter these illusions?
'Cause you take up the good parts of my mind
Please don't give it up
Don't draw your own conclusions
The best thing you could give to me is time
Give me time
I'm trying for you, love
Get outta bed, put my face on
'Cause nothings really even wrong
Just happens every so often these days
Said "baby won't you please just let me in
I can try to change how you're thinking"
I get guilty when we say goodnight
Roll over, turn off all the lights
I wonder if you should be spending your time
With some upbeat girl who works a nine to five
You know I don't want to let you down
I'm just hoping that you'll stick around
Can you stay long enough
To shatter these illusions?
'Cause you take up the good parts of my mind
Please don't give it up
Don't draw your own conclusions
The best thing you could give to me is time
Give me time
Give me time
