I'm Yours

I can't say I wrote this song about you

It's mostly about me

And how I tried and failed

To get inside your heart

I can't say I couldn't have done it without you

The idea was all mine

I just got so tired

Of staring longingly into my own eyes

Now if I can't say you're mine

Then I won't say I'm yours

I don't see the point anymore

I can't say you ever let me love you

No matter how hard I tried

There was too much of you absent

Hidden deep inside

I wish I could say I really know you

I wish I could be satisfied

When you tell me you love me

And that it's all going to be all right

But If I can't say I'm yours

Then I won't say you're mine

I disbelieve it more every time

Do you understand what it means for me to wait for you?

Do you realize how long I've been waiting for you?

You don't understand how hard it is to wait for you

Now if you don't say you're mine

Then I won't say I'm yours

We don't have to lie anymore

And If I don't say I'm yours

Then you'd better not say you're mine

We've run out of time

I am not a child anymore

You are not a child anymore

We can't go back to school

We'll never get back the time

We'll never be the way I dreamed

You'll never go to prom with me

I'll never be your first kiss

You'll never be my first love

We'll never have each other to lean on

Through life's most awkward times

Cause they've all passed far behind

And the funny thing is

We made each other worse half the time

I still love you, I always will

But if you want me to be yours

And if you're so sure you're mine

You're going to have to change my mind

Cause as much as I'd like to hope

We'll have a place and time

I can't say hoping's worth another minute of my life
