I came to believe you were the only one that wouldn't let me fall down
I gave it some thought and realized I would fall no matter who was around
But that's just me, I guess you knew it at the time but we were young
And we had to let go just to stay alive, at the moment it looked fun
And I burned all those pictures that we took together
Cause honestly, I can't keep them forever
I've given up for the sake of all my friends who think I'm dying
I taped my mouth shut cause I don't know how else to keep from crying
We grew up terrified of being imperfect but the plan never meant we had to change ourselves
It was a tongue-tied, shivering, bitter mess that mislead me from my own self
Five months later, you take my hand and you swear you never meant for us to get hurt
And my daddy says we were fragile to be that close, I guess we have another thing to learn
I'm sorry my confusion tore you apart, but your awareness made every fault okay
Thank God you knew before you even said anything that day
Just whisper how you really felt, I swear I won't say anything
The more you talk, the more time I have to think
And years from now I'll think of you, and picture the story like I wrote it before
But I will not cry, no I will not cry, cause it doesn't hurt me anymore
You unraveled me, I tangled you, you've forgiven me, I've forgiven you
And that hostile impression all those years finally came unglued
I came to believe you were the only one that knew me well, I knew you too
You mislead me, I mislead you, you uncovered me, I'll always have faith in you
