lyrics

Stuck in my room
With nothing left to say
I’ve been unkind, insensitive
But I must live with it

Gone are the days
Conversing came naturally
The price to pay for using
Someone else’s empathy

The disappointment lingers through her
Misery from boys into her
Promised her I’d be considerate
Now look at me, I’m not that different

It’s selfish regret
A feeling so tough to face
Am I looking to change or
Rid myself of all my guilt

Our loving trust is now in ruins
I beg for honest resolution
My heart still races when I see her
I’d do anything to please her

I wanna call her back
I wanna let her know
That I’m looking to change
And I can’t let it go
I wanna call her back
But I should leave her be
She was the girl of my dreams now I’m stuck with half apologies

But if I called her back
Would it make her feel
As if I never learned
How to let her heal
And if I called her back
Could it maybe seem
That I’ll never move on, I’m just searching for sympathy

I want your happiness
I do girl
I know I can’t mend
Past romances

But maybe we can both start
From here now
There’s still many sparks
When I’m near you

A racing heart I pace back and forth
Wanting her familiar warmth
A restless mind of expectations
Begin to dial with hesitation

I wanna call her back
I wanna let her know
That I’m looking to change
And I can’t let it go
I wanna call her back
But I should leave her be
She was the girl of my dreams now I’m stuck with half apologies

But if I called her back
Would it make her feel
As if I never learned
How to let her heal
And if I called her back
Could it maybe seem
That I’ll never move on, I’m just searching for sympathy
