Lyrics

Thinking I had you has been keeping me afloat
If only that were true then we could have shared a boat
Deep down I think I knew this was never gonna work
Thought I had to prove to the world that I'm in love
So many times I've cried but I wait until you go
That sinking feeling when you leave is one I've come to know
It's almost comfort now
How could I tell you no?
How long am I supposed to wait?
I've tried keeping it simple, I've tried making a change
Not a matter of timing just a mess that you've made
If I was given a choice all of this I'd erase
Now I've ditched my last effort and my white flag is raised
For every word you say I'll make space inside my brain
You don't think em through so they're heavy like the rain
I've held on to you as if I could make you stay
Never asked you to we both know what you would say
So maybe I should tell you, best if I just come clean
It's making me as bad as you to keep this in between
I'm sure that you'd be fine, can't say the same for me
How long til you're someone I hate?
I've tried keeping it simple, I've tried making a change
Not a matter of timing just a mess that you've made
If I was given a choice all of this I'd erase
Now I've ditched my last effort and my white flag is raised
I'd rather stick to familiar, cross my heart hope you'll stay
'Cause every time that you back out cuts me open again
So no I don't have it in me even just for the day
After my moment of weakness now my white flag is raised
Thinking I had you has been keeping me afloat
If only that were true then we could have shared a boat
