I knew from the start,
it was a little too good to be true,
but I couldnt help but feel,
all these good vibes from you,
You made me feel so good inside,
but I was hiding something too,
and I just cant help but think,
I was a little too honest, too soon.

'Cause maybe, if I would've waited,
you would have thought that I was worth it,
or maybe, if I had waited,
you'd understand that nobody's perfect,
but maybe if I waited, I would have let it go too far,
I guess I'll be alone forever, but I'm wishin' on that star,

I don't know what I expected,
probably a little heart,
but I just thought it'd be easier
to be honest from the start,
I wish I knew what you were thinkin',
can't seem to let it go,
if you're quick to leave, so might be everybody,
so for now I'll be alone,

and maybe, if I would've waited,
you'd have seen me in a different light,
or maybe, if I had waited,
I would know how to make this right,
but maybe, if I had waited, I might not have said anything at all,
and you'd, be stuck confused, with why I had to stall,

I thought just maybe,
you could see past my flaws,
look at whats underneath my skin,
and know that just because,
I might not be perfect
I'm still pretty good too,
and I know even more that,
I'd be really good with you.

But I'm glad I hadn't waited,
to share this part of me,
and now I know that you won't budge,
no matter how great I may be,
I realize now I don't need you,
nor really anybody,
I'm fine with being alone for now,
because I'm okay with being me.
