She forced a smile
 Said, "Boy, come kiss my mouth"
 You know that hope you're holding to?
 It looks an awful lot like fear
 Now you're so quick to fall on failure
 And so quick to raise your voice, like
 "If I can't find a mistake to blame
 We didn't have a choice"
 Oh, but you had an option
 I was your chance to feel complete
 But when I leaned in close to you
 You kissed your fear instead of me
 You had my hand in your hand
 You had my lip in your teeth
 You had my heart on your sleeve
 You had a chance to breathe
 But boy, you wouldn't let your fear recede
 So I moved on
 Oh, and it's too late to change your mind
 Now you got scared, boy, and I got gone
 Now you failed and there's no way to turn back time
 You had your chance
 Boy, I tried
 You tried?
 I looked her in the eye and smiled
 My girl, you must understand that fear is not some product that I made
 It crept unwelcome in my head
 The day they had her torn away
 It changed me
 Now at the end of every day
 I lie awake at night and wait
 To feel the wires of my brain
 Get cut and quietly rearranged
 And hear my beaten heart exclaim
 "Still, I refuse to let her go"
 So we escape to our mistakes
 For they wait patiently for us
 Oh, how they always wait for me
 If my fear has kept me here
 Only my fear can set me free
 And I'm sorry dear
 But don't you dare speak another word
 How could I risk holding your heart in me
 While still in love with her?
