I was trapped in the fire I was caught in the flames I almost drowned in the water I was left in the rain So I stay dry ♪ You pulled me tight to your shoulder Turned my head sideways I guess I gave in the moment When I gave up the race I'll tell you why ♪ Oh I promised that I'd Keep to myself this time But I can't help the way I feel And if you knew how hard I tried To keep you off my mind You'd know exactly why I'm here ♪ I get the calls from my mama Her worry bleeds into mine She says you're just like my father Gonna leave me behind I built a wall in his absense I never learned how to trust And I gave into habit When I pushed me off So pull me in ♪ Oh I promised that I'd Keep to myself this time But I can't help the way I feel And if you knew how hard I tried To keep you off my mind You'd know exactly why I'm here ♪ Don't keep me waiting, no Don't keep me waiting on ya Don't keep me waiting, no Don't keep me waiting on ya Oh I promised that I'd Keep to myself this time But I can't help the way I feel And if you knew how hard I tried To keep you off my mind You'd know exactly why I'm here You'd know exactly why I'm here
