gotta have you

the world slows down, but my heart beats fast right now

she's trying to get these strings to fray

she wants to break free

no more of your control

to hold her back 

when she tries to flea

you've got her dangerously wrapped around 

your malicious finger

keeping her under your demand

leaving no room to linger

it's time for you to give it up and quit

and stop treating her like your puppet

do you take the non believers?

now and then my heart would break

but my soul would reassure me you weren't a mistake

my conscious had gotten me feeling guilty for my own pain

but my faith convinced me it wouldn't happen again

my restless tears were pleading for an end

but my naive hopes promised things would mend

incomparable, something that couldn't be beat

baby our love was nothing but bittersweet

where would we be now

it won't stay this way forever.

i promise things will get better

i don't know what i've done, or if i like what i've begun

i counted all my mistakes today

everything from a to z 

not skipping a single thing

i wrote them all down one, two then three

some i smiled at, others made me ache

some i didn't see coming, and some i couldn't help but make

going down the endless list

i realized something very true:

through all my naive faults

my biggest mistake,was letting go of you.
