A simple proposal is over and under my tongue, I refuse to speak

It's all over now and it's tearing me

Up 'cause it's everyone else but me

You and I had more to say today, maybe

There's a better way to cross your mind, baby

Please don't go if I'm being unconditional

And I was meant to hold you

Please don't hold me up to the competition

Oh, when I was meant to breathe

Your air in, your air in, your air in

Your minute exceptions are holding me

Back, I'm alone for your give and take

And time has arrived, but you're losing

Your sight and calling it a mistake

I'm taking a chance and I'm taking what's

Left of a love that I've learned to lose

I'll give you my heart and I'll give you

My time, but I'm begging you not to choose

You and I had more to say today, maybe

There's a better way to cross your mind, baby

Please don't go if I'm being unconditional

And I was meant to hold you

Please don't hold me up to the competition

Oh, when I was meant to breathe

Your air in, your air in, your air in

You're holding out

And I will never know

You're leaving your heart behind

And pushing what's left away

I've lost your touch

Oh, oh, oh

Please don't go if I'm being unconditional

And I was meant to hold you

Please don't hold me up to the competition

Oh, when I was meant to breathe

Your air in, your air in, your air in
