Stay with me, patiently

'Til I come around

But I won't be, tied to dreams

Not my own

I know I promised that I would come through

Despite all my fear of committing my time to you

You're giving me love, I just can't see it now

Like each of your words go in one ear and out

Oh please, oh please

Pull me close and let me go

I can't be your hand to hold

Let me know life on my own

Cut your ropes and let me go

I don't know what I need

But I know

That you can't bring enough for me

To settle down

I promised that I would come through

Despite all my fear of committing my time to you

You're giving me love, I just can't see it now

Like each of your words go in one ear and out

Oh please, oh please

Pull me close and let me go

I can't be your hand to hold

Let me know life on my own

Cut your ropes and let me go

Pull me close and let me go

You're waiting for flames

That won't ever come home

Keep safely at bay but never returned

Tell me I can change and some day I'll grow

Into a woman that knows how to love

You so hold me

And show that I can be lonely and complete

Pull me close and let me go

I can't be your hand to hold

Let me know life on my own

Cut your ropes and let me go

Pull me close and let me go

I can't be your hand to hold

Let me know life on my own

Cut your ropes and let me go

Pull me close and let me go
