Music: Elizabeth Evans/Gus Ciardiello
I think of swerving my car now when I drive at night
I wonder if you saw me
Would you have a change of mind?
Would you forget the boundaries?
Would you run to my side?
Could almost losing me be
What makes you realize
That I'm the one you've been pulling away for?
If you'd just let me in
You'd see that I am to you who you are to me
For now could you pretend?
Honestly I'm a wreck
A mess
Alone without you
I don't know how to feel
To be
To breathe when I'm without you
Can't you see I'm here
I'm waiting
Wanting you to want me
Why don't you want me?
Why don't you want me?
Why don't you want me?
(When I'm here, waiting)
(I'm here, waiting)
(I'm here, waiting)
I've tried to be okay with the living in between
But now I walk alone at night
While the truth rains down on me
Are you scared of diving in?
Did I not make the grade?
I'd die holding my breath
For the chance to hear you say
That I'm the one you've been pulling away for
If you'd just let me in
You'd see that I am to you who you are to me
For now could you pretend?
Honestly I'm a wreck
A mess
Alone without you
I don't know how to feel
To be
To breathe when I'm without you
Can't you see I'm here
I'm waiting
Wanting you to want me
Why don't you want me?
Why don't you want me?
Why don't you want me?
(Just for now, could you pretend?)
Why don't you want me?
(Just for now, could you pretend?)
Go on twist the knife
Make me bleed
Follow the trail right back to me
Twist the knife
Make me bleed
Follow the trail right back to me
(Twist the knife) I'm here, waiting
(Make me bleed)
(Follow the trail right back to me) I'm here, waiting
(Twist the knife) I'm here, waiting
(Make me bleed)
(Follow the trail right back to me) I'm here, waiting
