It's hard to open up.
It's hard to let someone in.
And then you do,
and then the walls,
they come crashing in.
its like a dark dark room that gets
smaller and smaller
cant crawl out
i'm like a stranded toddler
there was a time when all
that i needed was you
all i needed was your arms
around me
we'd make it through.
but now those same arms
are lost without a trace
and i'm standing here alone
forgetting your face
but i don't want to.
i don't wanna forget
all of the good things
like me laying there on your chest
when you'd listen to me
and i'd open up to you
two halves of the same whole
one soul was me and you
where did it go
baby where did the good go
i miss all those love songs
that we used to know
singing in my car
Katy on the radio
you'd change all the words
so that only we'd know
but this teenage dream
is looking like a nightmare
we're in the same room
but it's like you're not even there
we were closer together
when we were farther apart
i thought living together
was supposed to be the start
not the end
baby please don't let it be the end
i know that I've hurt you
i know i'm not innocent
i'm far from perfect
the only thing that i do right
is constantly screw up
but consistency's good right
baby i don't mean to hurt you
it's the last thing i want to do
but when you push me away
whats a girl to do
i know that i broke your trust
not once but two
two times two nights
crying in our room
but that's the thing
baby its our room
our house, our bed, our future too
i told you from day one
five years ago
i'm not looking for a friend
i want to be a wife
you know
you know that baby
so stop running and hiding
stop making me feel
like you're just biding your time
like i'm just another girl
on that long list of girls
on that long long list
that list shouldn't exist
but regardless
i'm giving you all of me
like that John Legend song
that's always driving you crazy
its on repeat in my head
i'm singing it constantly
you say you're so perceptive baby
then why don't you see
why don't you see
that i'm standing right here waiting
wanting to be loved
anticipating
hoping that the look in your eyes will change
will change back
and be the same
the same as it was after the first time that i cried
when we spent that week together
and you held me at night
the same as it was
after our first fight
kissing my lips, saying baby it'll be alright
the same as it was on all of our long drives
hiding out in my car
making love in the moonlight
the same as it was the very first time
i cant even go on. i'm starting to cry
i miss us.
baby i miss you.
i miss your love
even when we're in the same room
just come back to me.
let me come back to you.
and be my light
my light in this dark dark room.
