lyrics

so you took the flight back home,
afraid,
you didn’t wanna leave.
tried to justify where i went wrong,
as if you would believe.

with the pain we kept,
inside our heads,
i’m more than what they know,
and our hearts were waiting,
for the fall,
your kisses were my home.

and i’m begging,
crying,
quit your lying,
i know you're praying too.
and i just can’t help that,
we both felt
i wasn’t right for you.
cause i broke your heart,
your pride,
your soul,
your confidence,
this self control,
it’s in the motions
all we know,
i know..
it’s time that i let go.

So you took the time and pulled away,
but didn't wanna leave,
Tried to compromise and move along,
your heart was on your sleeve.

with the pain we kept,
inside our heads,
i'm more than what they know.
and our hearts were waiting for the fall,
your kisses were my home.

and i’m begging,
crying,
quit your lying,
i know you're praying too.
and i just can’t help that,
we both felt
i wasn’t made for you.
cause i broke your heart,
your pride,
your soul,
your confidence,
this self control,
it’s in the motions
all we know,
i know..
it’s time that i let go.
