A gentleman he tried to be
These other girls they lie to me
And none is okay
So why does this have to be a thing at all
Why do we have to take that fall
For someone else's loss
Than try to leave
You'll always be a dream in early moments
Don't let him know that it's only good for one day
And you hit him with loving words but lead him on and on again
And that was me but my mistake
Cause it be my luck that's taking it all now
They tell me don't rush but you're giving your heart out
When I was there I fell on words of hope
And that was long ago
Should have held to what life dealt you
And it's alright
I don't trust that we'll make it far now
So baby don't say you've changed I've thrown it all away
And that was long ago
I gave the world to you
But maybe I won't
It was hard but the fact is you don't
When all the while it came to be
The parts of me you take to keep are now gone
It always seems to be when we are opened
To let things go
That the problems end up our way
It's only been a month and you're reaching
And all I'm really seeing is that I'm not enough Cause it be my luck that's taking it all now
They tell me don't rush but you're giving your heart out
When I was there I fell on words of hope
And that was long ago
Should have held to what life dealt you
And it's alright
I don't trust that we'll make it far now
Girl I don't trust and that was long ago
I'd really like to know how this makes you feel
But see we have these insecurities and fears so we cant heal
And now we're fighting
Is this who we are like this
Be it might that I fall through
And hold on silly girls like you
When we're talking and you say
That things are working out okay
Honey I won't make it tonight
Or think about tomorrow
You can find a way to hang up that phone
