Overstayed My Welcome

The foundation's where it started

Trust, I understand why you're so guarded

Holding on close to those departed

With words never spoken

Patching up this heart when it's broken

Like nobody's done nothing, are you joking?

These cuts forever open

But I'm hoping, you'll trust I'll throw a rope in

'Cause I would dive so deep for you, to prove that I'll get soaking

And I would change my waves for you to keep you in my ocean

I'm tidal with emotion, I get swept up in your motion

Before I leave the table, let me try and say my piece

Words left unspoken, lie like demons in my sheets

Like the past is on a record you keep playing on repeat

Unforgiven, couldn't shake it, binge a season every week

Flashbacks and re-runs, when old foes were friends

Distance is nothing, there's something to defend

But you're sleeping with your back to me, it's more than a huff

It's more than a phase, I've been steady counting my days

I know that I overstayed my welcome

Saying goodbye was so hard to do

I don't have the words to say

Just give a sign, and I'll be on my way

I'm tired of these dark days and long nights, it's a lost cause

I'm waving this white flag, hands up, press pause

I ran over the limit for dramatic effect

A choice I regret, I think I went and lost your respect

See what I won't do is treat you like the old you

Build you up to levels, never let your past hold you

We evolve, wish somebody would have went and told you

If we hit a glass ceiling, then it's something I'ma put a stone through

I'm saying, I could never show you enough

I know it's hard to hold the hand that's been dealing a bluff

I know it's turbulent stuff, but I'm screaming it loud

Guarantee you're the only person that I see in a crowd

Let me offer shelter when you're facing the rain

I know you're scared to go the distance and get broken again

I know I'm rough around the edges if we're talking terrain

But with this picture I paint, I put you centre of frame

I know that I overstayed my welcome

Saying goodbye was so hard to do

I don't have the words to say

Just give a sign, and I'll be on my way

I should have seen this coming

I thought you always knew

The same silent discussion

I piece it all together to find your point of view

I think you've lost your patience

I don't know what to do

I know that I overstayed my welcome

Saying goodbye, was so hard to do

I don't have the words to say

Just give a sign, and I'll be on my way

Just give a sign, and I'll be on my way
