Standby

You think all I know is what you told me,
But all I know is that you only
Want me when you're feeling lonely.
You want her, Baby, but that's the old me.

You think I don't know all about her.
But you really don't know anything about me.
You know my name, yeah, you've got my number.
You know everything that makes me weak.

Chorus: But you don't know that I won't be answering you tonight.
You don't know a single reason, yeah, you don't know why.
You held my hand not knowing I had other plans in mind.
And just like that, you kissed me goodbye.
Because I can't stand to standby.

I tell you that I like the way you smile, and
You say you like mine, too. But it's not the same.
You explain your game and ask me if it's alright.
It's not, but I say yes anyway.

You think I don't know anything you're doing.
You think I think you're telling me the truth.
I don't want tangled in the mess you've made,
But here I am tangled up in you.

Chorus

I can't standby for too much longer--
I've tried--
Waiting in between you wanting her and me.
I said it was alright,
But I lied.

You think all I know is what you told me,
But all I know is that you only
Want me when you're feeling lonely.

Chorus


And just like that you kissed me goodbye,
Because I can't stand to standby.

This Song For You

I can't move the  mountains.
I can't calm the sea.
I can't make you better.
And I can't make you love me.

But I can try my best.
And I can hold your hand.
I can give you everything,
Everything I am.

And even if that's not enough for you,
I'll still write this song for you.

I can't keep pretending,
Confused and full of doubt.
And I can't keep waiting
For you to come around.

This is not goodbye.
This is just for now.
It's all the space you wanted
To hold onto someone else.

And even if it's not enough for you,
I'll still write this song for you.

I won't wait forever.
I'll give you one more night.
If she wants forever,
That's fine.

I found all the reasons
We would never work.
So, I'm going to leave
Even if it hurts.

And even if it's nothing at all to you,
I'll still write this song for you.

And even if it means nothing for me to say all this to you,
There will always be this song for you.
