How many times will I stumble before I learn where to place my feet? How many "I love you"s will I mumble before you finally hear me? How many years will waste on you, not getting what I want? How many tears will follow nights of lust and the memories that haunt? How many times will you tell me you don't know how you feel? How many dimes will I throw to fountains just wishing it was real? How many other girls have fallen for you only to find themselves alone? How many worlds have you promised them then left them without a home? All I want is honesty. If you don't love me, please, just say. You're draining the life and love from me. No one is making you stay.

Counting on You
How many times will I stumble before I learn where to place my feet? How many "I love you"s will I mumble before you finally hear me? How many years will waste on you, not getting what I want? How many tears will follow nights of lust and the memories that haunt? How many times will you tell me you don't know how you feel? How many dimes will I throw to fountains just wishing it was real? How many other girls have fallen for you only to find themselves alone? How many worlds have you promised them then left them without a home? All I want is honesty. If you don't love me, please, just say. You're draining the life and love from me. No one is making you stay.
