You once told me that you finally understood
That if love is true, you can let it go
And it will return to you
If, in fact, it's real

Do you still believe that?
Because I'm trying to come back
Can you place a time restraint on the return of real love?
I know it's been awhile...

I hope you do
And I hope you can't, respectively
I'm grappling for something solid
To hold onto this hope I have for us

I know I don't deserve another chance
But I'd spend the rest of my life
Waiting for the opportunity
To prove to you my devotion

I am nowhere near perfect
I know I'll never be
But if you give me the chance
I know I can be better

Better for you
Better for me
Better for us
And our potential at a beautiful future

Most of me knows you won't let me in
And I won't blame you for that
But besides my underlying hope for us
I wrote you to give you a say

What I did to you was awful
And I stripped away all your power
But my latest proposition
Gives you full control

You can either take me back again
And I'll prove that I can change
Or you can tell me to leave forever
And I'll be waiting in the dark

In case you change your mind one day

It's not easy for me to be vulnerable
But you're worth the pain
Of opening up the walls in my soul
And risking losing it all again
