I can't say I wrote this song about you It's mostly about me And how I tried and failed To get inside your heart
I can't say I couldn't have done it without you The idea was all mine I just got so tired Of staring longingly into my own eyes
Now if I can't say you're mine Then I won't say I'm yours I don't see the point anymore
I can't say you ever let me love you No matter how hard I tried There was too much of you absent Hidden deep inside
I wish I could say I really know you I wish I could be satisfied When you tell me you love me And that it's all going to be all right
But If I can't say I'm yours Then I won't say you're mine I disbelieve it more every time
Do you understand what it means for me to wait for you? Do you realize how long I've been waiting for you? You don't understand how hard it is to wait for you
Now if you don't say you're mine Then I won't say I'm yours We don't have to lie anymore
And If I don't say I'm yours Then you'd better not say you're mine We've run out of time I am not a child anymore You are not a child anymore
We can't go back to school We'll never get back the time We'll never be the way I dreamed You'll never go to prom with me
I'll never be your first kiss You'll never be my first love We'll never have each other to lean on Through life's most awkward times Cause they've all passed far behind
And the funny thing is We made each other worse half the time I still love you, I always will
But if you want me to be yours And if you're so sure you're mine You're going to have to change my mind
Cause as much as I'd like to hope We'll have a place and time I can't say hoping's worth another minute of my life
