lyrics

YOU SAID


You said, "It's okay, I'm just used to going faster"
And I was glad you were patient with me
But I wanted to give you what you wanted
And I hated that it would take time for me to be ready

You said, "It's been a long time since i've been in the place you're at now"
And I said, "Well I don't want to be here forever"
And I thanked you for being so kind and understanding
It's been a long time since I even thought this could happen to me again

But it's really not to late to consider another avenue
if that's what i am to you

You said, "Thank you so much for last night" profusely
And I felt like you were pressuring me for more
And I was worried I would be the one who was too clingy and needy
It's been a long time since I've had someone to open up to
