Return to me

I believe in romance, in fairy tales coming true, I believe in people like you

I believe in love at first sight, and the perfect kiss, I believe that it doesn’t hurt to wish

But maybe things don’t always happen the way you want or need

Maybe things just are because that’s the way they have to be

Maybe everything really is for a reason, and what I did wasn’t in vain

And maybe there’s a reason that these feelings remain

There’s things I can’t tell you but how I wish I could

Things I cant articulate but I know I probably should

There’s these words, that no longer lack meaning

And this heart that has once again started beating

There are these signs that I should really read

Signs of hope and faith and love that I should heed

But then there’s my mind telling me to run away

Telling me to save myself before I get broken, or thrown away

And then of course there is you, and I’m lost

Because I don’t know what to do, and your heart is paying the cost

Im afraid of loosing you, but im afraid to be with you

Im afraid your words were just that and untrue

I believe in romance, and fairy tales, but I live my life in fear

I believe in love at first sight, and the perfect kiss, but all ive ever known are tears

I believe in you, and you believe in me, but im afraid of being happy

I believe in taking risks, and letting my heart go, but right now I just don’t know

I believe in running away, I always have, but you, you make me want to stay.

So I don’t know what to do, but my mind, its just keeps returning to you.
