Back and forth and under oath
And on and off and wait
Cruel and cold but intimate
Too close and near, so you let it go
It’s not like I think it is right
It’s not the way I thought it would be
I need it though
I need it though
I would let it unfold and grow, it’s just way too slow, way too slow
And it feels like love but way too cold, way too cold
We’ve fought and screamed and embraced
We’ve hurt and healed and then you let it go
It’s not like I think it is right
It’s not the way I thought it would be
I need it though
I need it though
I would let it unfold and grow, it’s just way too slow, way too slow
And it feels like love but way too cold, way too cold
I must admit that it’s not the way it should be
It’s not the way it should feel
But I need it though and you let it go
