I'm standing on the ledge of this I've been weighing the pros and the cons I'm about to cut the ropes Tell me you're waiting from below I'm hesitant to write this down Been unsure of where I stand Avoidance is my middle name But I'd like to pretend now What if I never change? And you were meant to be here Not driving through the rain The cigarette burns cold on the ground Now you're so long gone Nowhere to be found And I stand by but you'll never come I never showed you Didn't want to jump the gun I was so close to falling in love I was so close I was so close Petals falling from the vase A couple weeks now I thought you'd call Too many months in the friend zone But I swear I wanted to love you Taking down the plans I had in mind Erasing things you never said You tell me: I can't fix this But I wanted it anyway What if I never change? And you were meant to be here Not driving through the rain The cigarette burns cold on the ground Now you're so long gone Nowhere to be found And I stand by but you'll never come I never showed you Didn't want to jump the gun I was so close to falling in love I was so close I was so close I see your face in the crowd you're at my show But I know it isn't you Oh I know it isn't you I hear your name in conversation sometimes But I hope it isn't you Oh I hope it isn't you Cause it tears at my throat not to scream it out loud What if I never change? And you were meant to be here Not driving through the rain The cigarette burns cold on the ground Now you're so long gone Nowhere to be found And I stand by but you'll never come I never showed you Didn't want to jump the gun I was so close to falling in love I was so close I was so close
