lyrics

I don’t know if I’m supposed to
Tell you or show you
All the ways
that I’ve changed

And I don’t know if I’m supposed to
Love you or ignore you
And I don’t want
to be to blame

And I’m not fishing for promises
But I’m dreaming of you
Though I’m wishing that all of this
will somehow lead me to you
You can save yourself
I won’t make you have to
explain yourself to me
So if it helps you I can let you be

Well I don’t know if I’m supposed to
Get to enjoy you
In all the ways
that I’ve dreamed

And I’m not fishing for promises
When I’m singing for you
Though I’m wishing that after this
will somehow be me and you
But you should take your time
I won’t make you try
To change your mind for me
So it’s time that I let you be

But missing you
Doesn’t mean
I don’t want you where you are

And this is true
That I believe
You have seen my heart

So I don’t know if I’m supposed to
Tell you or just show you
All the ways that I’ve changed
