You want to hold me
And I don’t feel that I can get away
Girl, but if you’d know me
Then you would see that I could use a little space
I get up slowly, try to walk away
And I can see the tears run down your face
I want to love ya, but I’m feeling smothered
And I don’t wanna force myself to stay
Girl, what I’m trying to say
Is if you really love me, you’d love me when I’m gone
If you’d really trust me, you wouldn’t need me in your arms
And if you know what love was, you’d know there’s something wrong but it isn’t all that ugly
And you’d know
If you really love me

It’s silly really I feel we don’t speak our minds
Or take our time to talk, we just spark
Inflamable conversations, testing each others patience
Waiting for a mistake to be made to fuel the raging
Passion, the cause of irrational actions, it happens
We can’t get to the essence
Got the code, can’t get to the message (why?)
Cause we both sound way too aggressive
I mirror you when I should be reflecting
Making the same mistakes, I don't learn my lesson
Return to old ways we just keep regressing
Stressing or second guessing, now what was the expression?
Distance makes the heart grow fonder
Maybe we should just be apart for a second or longer, and we could just be cool
If I can just be me and you can just be you but girl
If you really love me, you’d love me when I’m gone
If you’d really trust me, you wouldn’t need me in your arms
And if you know what love was, you’d know there’s something wrong but it isn’t all that ugly
And you’d know
If you really love me
