lyrics

Tell me to let you down easy
Honey, it’s not what you think
Tell me I need to get crazy
I’m constantly on the brink

You don’t know my situation
I’m trying to understand yours
This back and forth that you’re giving me
I am climbing off of my high horse

Cause I won’t give it that easy
For something that doesn’t feel right
And if I were to tell you the whole truth
I wouldn’t need to figure it out all the time

Wide awake, stuck between
What I think I want, and what I know I don’t need
Oh how foolish of me
Hiding from something bigger that I couldn’t see

It’s been a long time coming
I’m no longer stuck on this
Because I pushed myself into
A stream I never wanted to swim

But I think you dove in too deeply
An unrequited relish
So I’ll stand by your careful disguise
Trying to get me interested

Tell me how did this begin
What do you see in me?
Cause I excel at playing safe
And you’re good at running free

Wide awake, stuck between
What I think I want, and what I know I don’t need
Oh how foolish of me
Hiding from something bigger that I couldn’t see

I want to see you after I’ve gone
But I can’t have you hanging on
You’ve never stated clearly what you feel
So I’m unsure of the ground I stood
Cause we were filled with many thoughts
Didn't utter a single word

How foolish of me
How foolish
How foolish of me oh
