Wait to date

Am I really where I belong? It don’t feel right

I wish I could read your intention when you hold me tight.

I’ve been hurt a few times before, do you really intend to stay?

This feels too good to be true, I love you more and more everyday

Do you want to break my walls just to steal my heart and leave

Just know that I’m nervous, It’s not you. I just wear my heart on my sleeve

I wish I could trust you but I’m cautious 20 times too late

I wish I had saved a piece of my heart for you and saved this date

I know your walls are down and your just waiting

But you know I’m not really ready for dating

I wish I wasn’t breaking you. I wish I was just normal and perfectly composed

I end up in the hospital every time I love, because I’ve completely overdosed

I know you care, I do too. But I can’t love again. 

What if your faking? What if you change then?

These are my fears it’s happened to me before 

I found my crushed heart outside my door

I swore to never love again, but I can’t stop I’m addicted

I love you, you should know you got me convicted

What if you love me then leave me behind in your dust? 

What would become of me? I know I would never again trust

You say you need me, you want me, you want to heal my pain

But if one more guy says that with a hollow heart I am going to go insane

If you want me you’ll have to love my faults and mistakes

You’ll have to respect my decisions and my want for breaks

You say you’ll never hurt me, that you have good intentions

BUt you’ve had 13 girls before, is that something you forgot to mention?

How’d you love them? How’d you lose them? How will you treat me?

I don't want it to be too late to turn back and see

 

Baby, you said we’d last that we’d outlast the last

But now you’re gone for forever you’re in the past

You said we were the ones that we were it

And in that moment I swore we were infinite

I let my guard down, you took the chance and left me to die

I wish I had listened to the old me, this is not the first time I’ve had to say goodbye

I wanted you to be the one

But now we’re done

 

I wish, but you don’t care

I want you but you’re not there

We started out as just friends, I wish it had stayed that way

Now i wish you’d stayed the same, I wish you’d stay

You just walked straight out of my life

Even when you said you wouldn’t stop until I was your wife

You called me angel and made me wings so I could fly

Then you said you’d buy me a wedding ring, so don’t be shy

I wasn't, you stole my heart and I had yours

But you didn’t throw open your doors

You didn’t apologize for shattering my soul

If not for you we might’ve made a whole

You don’t know what you’re losing but neither do I

Thats what I get for choosing you, it’s left me to die

I wish I could stop loving you

But didn’t you love me too?

I’m so sick of falling

I’m done baby step crawling

I said I’d never love another, but I’ll just drown out my sorrow with some other lover

Because I love and lose, I’m some sort of agent under cover

Deep in your eyes I think I know your sad to go

Is it because you remember the dance when the lights were low

We were so perfect like a sunset

Thought that we’d have nothing to regret

The whole relationship was a fail

You were just a storm in my sail

I’ve moved on so it’s forgiven and done

Just know that you’ve not won

I’d never think of you but it’s only in movies love only bruises

Only in movies you’d come back, only in movies good never loses

We were young and blind, we lived with no lights

We lived in a dark dream, full of heaven and fights

I thought we’d grow old and grey together, and watch our children grow too

But you’re not mine anymore, you’re just an old I love you
