sometimes i can’t move fast enough
to duck out of the way
of what you don’t really mean
but are nice enough to say

so i’d like to leave it all to you
the choices to be made
and i’ll be along for the ride
no games to be played

this time it’s a safer way
no one hurts or wants to run
when you want to, freely call
if you need to talk to someone

i’m trying to accept my role
i am here just to fix you
when your broken down and
when you don’t know what to do

and i can’t speak for tomorrow
but right now i am ok
with being here for your tears
and then watching you skip away
