I'm Yours

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
