| Pace around the back room of my place
|
| I’m flipping through the script I can’t erase
|
| I’m turning every verse and chapter
|
| I’m the author and the actor
|
| It’s never meant that much to me
|
| 'Cause I’ve placed all my fears on you
|
| And there’s so much more to lose
|
| When holding back gets in the way
|
| I’m only tryin' to keep you safe
|
| From all the things I thought I’d never do
|
| 'Cause I’ve placed all my fears on you
|
| Lazy afternoon in the park
|
| You’re like a fire in the dark
|
| There’s something just beneath the surface
|
| That’s trying to give the past a purpose
|
| It’s never meant that much to me
|
| 'Cause I’ve placed all my fears on you (don't go away… go away…)
|
| There’s so much more to lose (don't go away…)
|
| When holding back gets in the way
|
| I’m only trying to keep you safe
|
| From all the things I thought I’d never do
|
| And now I’m finally finding out
|
| All the things I’ve gone without
|
| So many things I thought I’d never do
|
| I’m turning every verse and chapter
|
| I’m the author and the actor
|
| It’s never meant that much to me
|
| 'Cause I’ve placed all my fears on you (don't go away… go away…)
|
| There’s so much more to lose (don't go away…)
|
| (So far away…) |
