She came in through the back door
Took off her shoes and then sat down on my bedroom floor
A journal in my dresser drawer
The whole thing like a metaphor
I didn't want to feel this way
But she planted flowers around my pain
And suddenly, it's all okay
And I'm happy
But I keep forgetting there's something about you
That couldn't ever love me all the way
And the truth is, I'm scared that you know it
But we keep on going
'Cause we're too afraid of what'll change
But I love you too much to stay
Loving you halfway
We called it an experiment
Measuring feelings 'til we found ourselves a whole year in
You loved me like I've never been
I thought I had myself convinced
But I didn't want to feel this way
I don't want to go, but I don't feel sane
And suddenly it's not okay (it's not okay, it's not okay)
Mm-mm
But I can't help thinking there's something about me
That couldn't ever love you all the way
And the truth is, I'm scared that you know it, but
We keep on going 'cause we're too afraid of what'll change
But I love you too much to stay
Loving you halfway (I can't stop thinking that something about me)
No, I can't go on living like this
Loving you halfway (scared that you know it but we keep on going)
Ooh (going, going)
I love you too much to stay
Loving you halfway
