So while I've waited for you to come along
Many persuaded the ones that I've chosen
An understanding, a reason, a clue
Of what it would take to get next to you
Misread the signs, mistook the lines
Misheard the cry, got all but why
If you want to go just return what you stole
Leave if you need to leave, just don't expect me to believe
I've tried to unravel the things you said to me
But that doesn't work when you're just a mystery
You toss and you turn and you figure it all through
Then in the moment it couldn't be further from true
Leave if you need to leave
I never could believe what you told me then
We were waiting until when the time was right
This was the night
So you can have it back and the rest I'll take for me
