Lyrics
of course i want to be where you are right now
i'm just tryin to find a way to be w/ you somehow
i just wish i wasn't so repressed & controlled
someone please save me, please liberate my soul
why can't you wait? i've risked so much just to see you.
it hasn't been enough cause you want to give up.
tell me what i should do
cuz obviously i'm not enough for you to hold on to
so now we're both upset we are both frustrated
uncomfortable dead silence between us has been created
maybe we should break; its been a long time that you've been my beau
don't let me hold you down, just tell me before you go
why can't you wait? i've risked so much just to see you.
it hasn't been enough cause you want to give up.
tell me what i should do
cuz obviously i'm not enough for you to hold on to
i apologize for not being that girl youve always desired
i can't be what you want i can't be what you need & i'm sure you're tired
of hearin the same excuses well i'm sick of hearin the same old lies
& its no surprise that you're losing hope in us
& i'm the only one who believes we can last despite the struggles in our past
(come back, come back to me. find a way & in no time together we'll be)
set me free, let me go, & i'll be just fine (thought we'd last a long time)
it's hard to believe cuz we both know that's a lie (don't forget to say goodbye)
why can't you wait? i've risked so much just to see you.
it hasn't been enough cause you want to give up.
tell me what i should do
cuz obviously i'm not enough for you to hold on to
