I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote this.

Maybe you’ve been left too much
Maybe you’ve been lonely too long
Maybe there ain’t one person you’ve ever known
Who has not done you wrong

So you sleep with one eye open
You keep your heart all locked up tight
You’re busy watching your back
And your walking right past
Someone who’ll do you right

Maybe you gave up on finding true love
Just a little too soon
You believe in love but you say that stuff
Just wasn’t meant for you
You don’t know what you’re talking about
But I love you anyway
And I know you’re waiting on me to run
But baby, I’m gonna stay

Well you’ve sure had it rough
You’ve been lied to, robbed, and beat
Yeah, you’ve had your heart broke a lot of times
But not by me

But you think I’m just the same
You say I’ll hurt you before too long
You’d rather walk away than take a chance
And let me prove you wrong

Maybe you gave up on finding true love
Just a little too soon
You believe in love but you say that stuff
Just wasn’t meant for you
You don’t know what you’re talking about
But I love you anyway
And I know you’re waiting on me to run
But baby, I’m gonna stay

So just let me love you for a little while
Let me turn that scared look in your eyes
Into a smile
I know I can make you smile

Baby you gave up on finding true love
Just a little too soon
You believe in love but you say that stuff
Just wasn’t meant for you
You don’t know what you’re talking about
But I love you anyway
And I know you’re waiting on me to run
But baby, I’m gonna stay

I know you’re waiting on me to run
But baby, I’m gonna stay
I’m gonna stay
