You ask me how I feel
What I think and what is real
But I don't know how to write the words you want
Is it pride
A truth I refuse to revise
When you seek refuge in my eyes
But the reflection you despise
The compulsion to clarify in the place of compassion
Used to justify you for you
What do you want me to do
I'd do it if I only knew
But I'll wait for you to come back
Come back
Hey
I don't wanna hurt you
I don't wanna push you away
Push you away
But you go so very far away
You avoid my gaze
My phrase and still it stays
Which letters should I put into paste
If what I said was in poor taste
But you left without a trace
In an attempt at grace
I'm giving you some space
We'll talk another season on another day
As you read my transparency remember what you mean to me
We're breaking more than we mean to be
My arms will be open wide
If you are hoping to confide
And I'll wait for you to come back
Come back
Hey
I don't wanna hurt you
I don't wanna push you away
Push you away
But you live so very far away
You avoid my gaze
My phrase and still it stays
Which filter should I put into place
If you can read what's on my face
But you left without a trace
Without a trace
Without a trace
Without a trace
Without a trace
Without a trace
Without a trace
I don't wanna hurt you
I don't wanna push you away
I wanna hear what you've got to say
I'll just talk with you some day
