If I told you how I felt it would never be enough
I'm trying to make progress, but I'm close to giving up
I'm ready for the actions, I'm just too afraid to move
Frozen in this moment, though I know if I stop I'll lose

I'd rather lose the other than lose what matters most
But I'm so unsure how to proceed that it's all I can do to go
I've got all of these worries in the pocket of my jeans
They're so full they're overflowing and busting at the seams

You're everything I've wanted
With you i can be myself
You make me see things where I couldn't
You don't know the ways you've helped
But I'm trapped here in a cycle
A mind which I can't break free
Why can't I just let go
Of all these demons surrounding me

People think it's simple
True love conquers all
But how do I break a heart
That never asked to fall

Maybe in truth I'm broken
I'll never run just right
Maybe if I get too close to you, I'll dim your brilliant light
But all I want is to bask in your glow,
To be a shadow on your wall
Where you go is where I want to be
Or be nowhere at all

I like how we can talk about anything
And laugh over the simple things
One thing I'm afraid of is losing that
If this doesn't work I want to know it can go back to the way it was

I don't expect anything really
Just to see where it goes with no limitations
But I just don't want it to ruin us
You mean more than just some sensation

I don't want something to tear us apart
I'm down for life
And by that I don't mean tying you down with a ring
I mean I'm in for the fight

I just don't know how to go forward
I feel like I'm stuck
I'm in this rut
Trying to go up
But I can't find a way to do it without fucking everything up
What do I do?
