A simple proposal is over and under my tongue, I refuse to speak
It's all over now and it's tearing me up cause it's everyone else but me
You and I had more to say today
Maybe there's a better way to cross your mind, baby

Chorus:
Please don't go if I'm being unconditional
And I was meant to hold you
Please don't hold me up to the competition
Oh, when I was meant to breathe your air in (your air in, your air in...)

Your minute exceptions are holding me back
I'm alone for your give and take
And time has a right but you're losing your sight and calling it our mistake
I'm taking a chance and I'm taking what's left of a love that I've learned to lose
I'll give you my heart and I'll give you my time
But I'm begging you not to choose
You and I had more to say today
Maybe there's a better way to cross your mind, baby

(Chorus)

You're holding out and I will never know
You're leaving your heart behind
And pushing what's left away
I've lost your touch

Ohhh...

(Chorus)
