It's hard to sleep at night
When you've got something on your mind
When your heart is on fire
It's hard to tell a lie
When the rain is coming down what can you do?
When a strongly held belief turns out be untrue
It's time to lay it on the line and just accept
The mistakes you have made even if you can't forget
I know I pushed you away
Only 'cause I was afraid
If I'd been darin' to try
Then maybe you would be mine
It's hard to admit our deepest fears
And you can fight a silent battle for years
When you wear your heart on your sleeve
You can't contain the truth indefinitely
When the dam's about to break what can you do?
When a strongly held belief turns out to be untrue?
When it's as plain as day inside your head
All the things you wish you'd done and wish you had said
I know I pushed you away
To take to a path that was safe
If I'd been darin' to try
Then maybe you would be mine
Give life your everything
Instead of imagining
Pretend that there's no such thing as heartache
When millin' over what chances to take
I know I pushed you away
Sometimes it's hard to be brave
If I'd been darin' to try
Then maybe you would be mine
Maybe you would be mine
Maybe you would be mine
