You told me that you really loved me You told me that it was different You told me that I'm in the picture The only girl who fits in You told me that you have emotions But you don't know how to phrase them But I'm not here to criticize those I'm only here to praise them And I'm okay with not having to fix that And I'm okay with teaching you how to love yourself It's all in you, you just have to bring it out effectless I'll give you time and I'll give you space You told me that you're scared of heartbreak Just holding on to attraction But I'm not leaving I'm not saying Just need to show you satisfaction And I'm alright with mister meaner Mistakes push you to find what's right for you It's not goodbye I couldn't tend to leave your face But it's just some time and a little space I can't love you till you can find a way to love yourself It will take some learning, it's not how to book on the shelf I'll stay with you to make it through there is no place I'd rather be But you need to be anew before you can be with me And I'm alright with the distance And I'm okay if there's changes for the way you feel for me And I'm alright if I'm no longer in the race You just need time to start your life Oh, you just need time and space
