did you get scared?
did i come on too strong?
i'm not sure how these things go
so maybe I lead you wrong
i'm used to being alone
maybe i wanted you too honestly
openly
maybe we did everything right
but the timing was off
maybe we're not too scared,
we're too broken
and i don't know how long heads take
to get fixed
but i said i'd wait for you
and you said something close to that
too
so hold onto me
because i don't want to let go
yet
let me take my time with you
and ask a little less
i'll try to give only what you can
carry
if you promise to do the same
just don't let go
