And I Acan't believe I don't know what to do
I had Ga big idea of how things would go
Now I'm Dstruggling to find the words to Atell you "No"
You've Dgot the upper hand and your home ground
I'm lAooking for a confidence that can't be found
I neGed you to go but I want you to stay
This Dawkward exchange got me Afeeling this way
