You told me you were only looking for someone to talk to yet all we did was fuck,
And I told myself be patient while you garnered the courage to open up,
And sometimes you let me see parts of your soul that you'd rather keep shut,
The other times you'd shut me out without explaining your thoughts.
Most nights I couldn't decipher the mixed signals you threw my way,
You'd act all thick-skinned but have soft words to say,
And I didn't want to fall in love with someone who didn't want me to stay,
But I was the only girl you let see the side of you that you never wanted to display.
So I didn't want to pressure you, or try to ask for more of us,
I wanted to be selfish but I didn't want to start a fuss,
I wanted to tell you I love you, but I was scared to show you how much,
So now I must decide between attaining something real or settling for lust.
