I said I wanted to go
But I didn't really want to leave
What I wanted was for you to make me stay
I just wanted to believe

That you could really love me
Someone as weird and utterly normal as I
That you could care enough about me
To not let me leave with that sort of goodbye

But then you stepped aside
Let me pass you, out the door
And I couldn't stop the tears from falling
Once my foot hit the snow

You just let me leave you
After all the drama, all the fight
I couldnt--wouldnt-- believe it
It just wasnt right.

My thoughts were like a tornado
Destroying from within
What happened to us in there?
And was I going to let it win?

Sure I was upset,
But being away for even a minute
It was killing me already
How could I stand to even last it?

So I turned around,
Leaving every shred of pride behind
God, was I ever stupid
And out of my **** mind

He wouldn't want me back,
Right after he gave me up?
But if he really did like me,
Coming back would be enough

He'll forgive me and I, him.
And if he doesnt, I dont care!
I'll turn back and walk away--
Thats when I saw you standing there

Smiling a knowing smile
Just across the street
I couldn't help the flutter of my heart
You were as lovely as could be

I walked to you then,
Slowly, head bowed
I stopped in front of you
Not sure what to do now

You wrapped me in your arms
And suddenly I knew
Everything would be okay
Because you loved me and I, you.
