And why the wait to tell me now When I can't do a thing? It's already hard enough to speak And what a waste of how this feels Standing next to me It's already hard enough to breathe So take your time and don't forget me while you're gone And write me a letter if I ever cross your mind Tell me the truth that I've been missing all along And I pray to God that I will one day get this right So close and yet so far away And every single time you tell me what I'm supposed to do And I just keep fooling myself Believing all the lies Oh that I might end up here with you So take your time and don't forget me while you're gone Write me a letter if I ever cross your mind Tell me the truth that I've been missing all along And I pray to God that I will one day get this right So here's to beautiful dreams of you that keep me awake And all these things I kept inside I'm too scared to say So take your time and don't forget me while you're gone Write me a letter if I ever cross your mind And tell me the truth that I've been missing all along And I pray to god that I will one day get this right And I hope he keeps you safe and warm inside his arms It seems like such a total shame you could not wait And I should've seen that I would walk away alone And once again I've only got myself to blame
