you bind me when you say
you want to spend your life with me
not a day or two
so i stay, i stay

you leave the door open for me to walk free
everyday
because you say
the times are not good, the time is not right

meanwhile i'm stuck in the air
waiting to fall
and you're out there
am i being restless to hear your final call

feeling guilty as hell
when you ask what you gotta do to make me believe
how do i tell
it's not what i need

for all I need is _
a word of reassurance when i'm low
to see you smiling
when you see me

i'm trying to take it slow ,
so i stay
for as long as i can endure
the apathy you show

And all you do
is avert your gaze
lower your eyes and walk away
because you say the time's not right

and i'm trying desperately
to end this plight
to call it a day
AND I APOLOGIZE FOR BEING TOO IMPATIENT

for all i ask is a word from you
once a day
if it's too much to ask, I'M SORRY
I cannot stay
