Okay, I´m finished now
And I kept my faith for long enough
And I hope I´m old and fairly sober
If I´m let down

Maybe you keep me around
For the constant affirmations
While I scrounge for understanding
And fall out

I´ll let you win and I´ll let you tie
The ribbon to my hair
Just so that we could come back to this
If we really cared
The morning gates stay open
If you had a thought that I´d be there
Oh, I´d be there

Ooh, ooh
Ooh

Know we could use a break
Because I can´t feel my feet

Carried you all the way upstairs
So you can sleep and I can think

Stand guard when I am near
Clinging on to everything you fear
Keeping me close while you hold me out and say
"I don´t love you that way"

Harbor myself away from everyone else
I´m half-awake and intimate
Eyes closed and I´ll commit
What I wish I had with you
I´ll pretend until it´s true
I don´t love you that way

Swallow the pill, it´s only fair that I hear
Know myself better than I have in years
I don´t know why I have to defend what I feel

I try

Stand your guard when I am near
Loathe me until you´re reminded of the deal
One of us knows when you hold me out and say
You don´t love me that way
