Tryin’ to figure this life out on my own
Every time you offer me your hand
I push you away because I don’t trust you enough
I fight against myself; fighting everything I know to be right

You want to hold me but I push you away
You want to be near to me but I won’t let you
You want to hear me but I won’t tell you what’s on my heart
I don’t want to keep pushing you away

There are times when I wanna see but I can’t
Because I’ve put other things before you between you and I
Wanted to grab a hold of you but I pushed your hand away
You gently waited and held me even though I didn’t want you to

You told me you loved me even when I tried to pretend I didn’t hear you
You held my heart when I didn’t know what was going on
You touched my life in a way that I could never imagine
You picked up the pieces and put them together just the way you planned
