You told me that you really loved me
You told me that it was different
You told me that I'm in the picture
The only girl who fits in

You told me that you have emotions
But you don't know how to phrase them
But I'm not here to criticize those
I'm only here to praise them

And I'm okay with not having to fix that
And I'm okay with teaching
you how to love yourself
It's all in you
you just have to bring it out effectless
I'll give you time and I'll give you space

You told me that you're scared of heartbreak
Just holding on to attraction
But I'm not leaving I'm not saying
Just need to show you satisfaction

And I'm alright with mister meaner
Mistakes push you to find what's right for you
It's not goodbye
I couldn't tend to leave your face
But it's just some time and a little space

I can't love you
till you can find a way to love yourself
It will take some learning
it's not how to book on the shelf
I'll stay with you to make it through
there is no place I'd rather be
But you need to be anew
before you can be with me

And I'm alright with the distance
And I'm okay if there's changes
for the way you feel for me
And I'm alright if I'm no longer in the race
You just need time to start your life
Oh, you just need time and space
