There was no light on the shore But it's never as simple as that And I couldn't wait anymore I'm sure it wasn't my fault You had somewhere to go But no part of you lingered at all I thought maybe if you knew Like I never imagined you do If I only knew what to say But can you respect anybody Who needs you that way? You are bound to forget These things tend to work themselves out But how many times have I slipped? Like if I went out on a limb Could you show on my skin Maybe all of the magic unfolds But can you convince anybody To love what they don't? Hey, nothing will change if you leave it to fate Oh, can I change it back now Hey, no one can blame you for trying But that won't stop you, that won't stop you I thought maybe if you knew Like I never imagined you do If I only knew what to say But can you respect anybody Who needs you that way?
