Well I know I wasn’t perfect, I’d be lying if I said I was good
Even though I took you for granted, you trusted me
But no, not completely, I wouldn’t let you. ‘Cause I knew I‘d let you down again
My attempt at your protection led to this resentment

I don’t want to spend the rest of existence running away from my only one
I feel like I could waste it all in an instant trying to re-create the things I’ve done
I don’t want to spend the rest of my lifetime trying to second guess the life I choose
Feel like I could liberate my lifeline

But I’m not ready yet or I’m scared of regret or I don’t want to hurt you no more
All that I’m saying is that I miss you when you’re gone

Let’s be honest, because it’s something that we’ve never been before
And let’s be careless, because we owe it to each other to laugh
And let’s not try to be perfect, even if perfection’s attained, how could it ever be sustained well I don’t want it!
We need a strong foundation…you deserve so much more

I don’t want to spend the rest of existence running away from my only one
I feel like I could waste it all in an instant trying to re-create the things I’ve done
I don’t want to spend the rest of my lifetime trying to second guess the life I choose
Feel like I could liberate my lifeline

But I’m not ready yet or I’m scared of regret or I don’t want to hurt you no more
All that I’m saying is that I miss you when you’re gone
