Waiting on you Trying to keep your head strong With nothing to lose You raise your voice with something to prove And all the things you say to me I can't forget them You don't leave But you tell me with your eyes what you need Oh, please Do you think that I don't know what it means? All the things you hide for me I accept them But I need you next to me If I can't hold you now Keep thinking that you might not come around I have no words, I have no words to say If I can't change your mind Keep thinking, is this our last goodbye? You say it first, you say it first to me You're in the clear While I'm waking up to nothing but tears And you say they've said That I'm the only one that needed to change You know the things you've said to me Do you regret them? I just need you next to me If I can't hold you now Keep thinking that you might not come around I have no words, I have no words to say If I can't change your mind Keep thinking, is this our last goodbye? You say it first, you say it first to me So I can't just forget you, just forget you Can't just forget you, just forget you And If I can't hold you now Keep thinking how you might not come around And I have no words, I have no words to say If I can't change your mind Keep thinking, is this our last goodbye? You say it first, you say it first to me If I can't hold you now (if I can't hold you now) Keep thinking that you might not come around (might not come around) I have no words, I have no words to say If I can't change your mind (if I can't change your mind) Keep thinking, is this our last goodbye? (our last goodbye?) You say it first, you say it first to me
