It's when you come near
Emotions mound building fear…
I'm sorry that I upset you
For running away
You wanted our love to be so true
And hoped I felt the same
Believe me when I say I do
But I know that's hard to take
Because every time you made a big move
I pushed you away
Every time you come close
I push you away
When you want to settle down
I become afraid
I messed up, I know
Missing out on a perfect change
When you promised not to let me down
I pushed you away
I can't come to forgive myself
For letting you pass me by
When I know you're with someone else
That's when I change my mind
I wish I admitted how I really felt
Because I want you by my side
But I put our book back up on the shelf
And ended this story early when I,
Tried to push you out of my life
Every time you come close
I push you away
When you want to settle down
I become afraid
I messed up, I know
Missing out on a perfect change
When you promised not to let me down
I push you away
