I get way too over-cautious
Leave my feelings damn forgotten,
Brushed it off ‘cause I forgot how
To bring myself to ask you –
How we could find ourselves together,
Braced myself for never
But I couldn’t figure it out,
I couldn’t let it all out.
But I love you, I think I do
But I want you, I know I do
But I love you, I think I do
But I want you, I want you, I want you.
Looking back to all the times that I said I would quit
But here we are again, right back where the cracking rips
Open my heart, there’s you
Can’t seem to find no substitute
Running circles in a maze where you left me tricked,
I can’t focus, if you noticed I was out of it
Patiently waiting for a sign,
Can you help me?
But I love you, I think I do
But I want you, I know I do
But I love you, I think I do
But I want you, I want you, I want you.
I miss secretly holding your hand in public,
No one was watching but we only felt it,
It was special – it was us.
Are you gonna get your act together?
Or keep your demons treasured?
Please help me, help me, help me.
But I love you, I think I do
But I want you, I know I do
But I love you, I think I do
But I want you, I want you, I want you.
