Write it all down
Tell me the truth
Is this it?
Spill it out in cursive
And I'll hold my breathe

It's been 8 years
In the making
But no regrets
You pierce my soul
I'm half agony, half hope

Stop pretending to think
God can let you go
When we know damn well
That I won't

I was persuaded
You were persuaded
We were persuaded by them
Let's not lie to each other again

Cause you are a constant
I can't decipher
You're in my head
Just ask me and I'll tell you
With my eyes wide shut

Stop pretending to think
I can let you go
When you know damn well
That I won't

Does it seem sincere to say
That I'm in love
I'm zapped here
All alone all alone

Let's make this work
This time, please?
Let's make this work
This time

Let's make this work
This time please
Let's make this work
This time
