Drive

I get so hooked on my own ideas 

But you have your own plans

It's true that we find a happy middle

But that's always at 2am

I can't let this go on 

But I hold on bc I don't want to lose you

And I kinda like needing you

But my friends say it's taking over

And they think you don't give a damn

But I know you do 

When you're close to me

Lying next to me there so guarded

I ache to please you 

And quiet your fears

Smoking, drinking, driving your fast car

You're alone thinking and numbing the past

You don't get too far

Could you take a chance on me?

Is the past all you see 

when you look at me?

Honey, I'm not to blame

I'm here on the edge,

Hands tied behind my back

And I bleed 

I smile for you to keep us both up

Play with you to show you what could be

You're fine for a while then you withdraw again

And I'm alone and waiting for that chance again 

I'd do it over, a thousand more times

To give you closure, to ease your mind

Because when I look at you,

I see the sweetest man 

And I would love to love you

Like you know I can
