Leading You

If I could hold you would you hold me back If I could barely breathe and had a heart attack Would you lean over and press your lips to mine If I believed you for one whole day Would you really say all you needed to say Or would you still clam up and never tell me why Cuz you are so hard to read and I know That you'll never lead me unless I told you to go That's why it feels like we're repeating- and always competing Feels like we're repeating signs Cuz you open up and shut me out and Smile at me then leave me doubting I never really thought that we'd get anywhere All the work I've been doing myself If I could overhear it from somebody else Or if I had an inkling ever just so small. I've given up on you plenty of times I can live without you you'll never be mine But there's this nagging feeling that I can't ignore Cuz you are so hard to read and I know That you'll never lead me unless I told you to go That's why it feels like we're repeating- and always competing Feels like we're repeating signs Cuz you open up and shut me out and Smile at me then leave me doubting Crossing wires and starting fires Telling pretty little lies I never really thought that we'd get anywhere
