I complain
|
When nothing's even wrong
|
And you're ashamed
|
Cause you're not quite that strong
|
|
That's when I said I'll need
|
More than you can offer me
|
I miss your face as you can tell
|
I hope my absence makes you well
|
|
Cause what I didn't know
|
Is I was killing you
|
I said a lot of things that I didn't mean to
|
But I am older now
|
And I am sorry too
|
So I can wait awhile
|
If it brings me back to you
|
|
I am shy
|
I never speak a word
|
And you are numb
|
From all the things you never heard
|
|
That's when I said I'll need
|
More than you can offer me
|
But now I own an empty space
|
And I can't fill it with your face
|
|
Cause what I didn't know
|
Is I was killing you
|
I said a lot of things that I didn't mean to
|
But I am older now
|
And I believe in you
|
So I can wait awhile
|
If it brings me back to you
|
