I'm so fucking sick of these shades of grey
while the girl I love is 4 blocks away
I can't help feeling just a little bit like a disaster
Every question I had asked before
just leaves me sinking further into the floor
& she don't even really know what she's after
Every time I said it I meant it
When you said this hurt you I felt it

Turn off, turn off the lights
saying goodbye but should be
saying goodnight
curling up alone, but could be
curling up with me
Turn off, turn off the lights
You said I did you wrong, so let me make it right
let me show you how good this love can be

It's been a long time since I've felt like this
& I can honestly say it's not something I missed
being lonely' s just so much less hard
And I really don't know what I'm supposed to do
I can't stop my self from making distance from you
we can work on this if you can find it in your heart
Every time I said it I meant it
When I thought you were leaving I
panicked

Every single second that I hold my breath
is a wasted moment that could have been spent
exhaling into your ear
It's in these moments that the future changed
you were stopping time 10,000 miles away
when you really should have been here

Gimme a change to clean up the mess I've made
and detail the prevention of future mistakes
I swear I can do better if you let me
Can we chalk it up to a trial run
I lost the race when I jumped the gun
I'll be more patient next time if you'll have me
