You could be happy with some other girl,
but instead you're sitting at my porch waiting.
I don't want to get the door cause am scared.
What if we don't work out?
I know am supposed to give this the benefit of the doubt.
But cut a sad eyed damsel some slack.

I don't wanna run before I walk, leap before I look.
what if it's the last coherent thought I have?
I have loved you once before and lost myself.
All that remained was a mess that you helped make.
I have heard it all before, the endless lies and empty promises.
You aren't going to change, you never did before.

I want to run somewhere far away where you won't come looking.
I need to clear my head, I need to breath again.
You are haunting my dreams and reality.
I can't go down the roads we used without finding your shadow.
You're a part of the pain I know, you rest on the burden I carry.

I don't want to open my door, I don't want to start this cycle again.
It ends at the tip of a precipice, where push comes to shove.
I want to start over, I want to erase the moments we wasted loving.
It's a bad idea to dream, even worse to be in the same space.
You could be happy, If you just left.
