heartbreak ballad
Remember that day
Three months ago
A Saturday in September
You wanted to go;
You offered me your arm,
And bought me a drink;
Like two kids at a concert,
Their hearts on their sleeves.
Two weeks later,
I’m calling you up,
You say “I wanna be with you,
But am scared of messin up.”
I tell you my heart
is my own to protect;
Both scared of falling,
Don’t know what comes next.
But oh, oh
I wanted you so, oh
Wanted you to know, oh
I saw your heart, didn’t wanna hold back
Well we had a few weeks
Of ignorant bliss;
Not thinkin bout how
We were takin a risk
Wall by wall, slowly comin down
Things got hard;
But I wasn’t ready to quit
And oh, oh
You wanted me so, oh
Falling so slow, oh
Let those walls come down,
I’ll be here when they fall
Both of us hurting,
aching for love;
The cards stacked against us,
I didn’t wanna give up.
But you were unsure,
Didn’t know how far;
But don’t you know
I just wanted your heart
But oh, oh
I loved you so, oh
Wanted you so, oh
Didn’t wanna give up
Still don’t wanna give up
Well maybe I was
a little bit more in love
Than I cared to admit, yeah
And I was scared,
And you were scared too;
But don’t you think
it’s better to love
Than not at all?
Well maybe it was fate
That we met that day,
Or maybe it’s fate
That you’ve now gone away;
You tell me I’m better off
Without you here,
But I don’t believe you;
Don’t you want me too?
But oh, oh
Please don’t go, oh
I need you so, oh
If you ever come back
You know where I’m at
