“Halfway”
she came in through the backdoor
took off her shoes and then sat down on my bedroom floor
a journal my dresser drawer
the whole thing like a metaphor
and I didn’t wanna feel this way
but she planted flowers around my pain
and suddenly it’s all okay
and I’m happy
but I keep forgetting there’s something about you
that couldn’t ever love me all the way
and the truth is I’m scared that you know it
but we keep on going
cause we’re too afraid of what will change
but I love you too much to stay
loving you halfway
we called it an experiment
measuring feeling till we found ourselves a whole year in
he loved me like I’ve never been
I thought I had myself convinced
but I didn’t wanna feel this way
I don’t wanna go but I don’t feel sane
and suddenly it’s not okay
but I can’t help thinking there’s something about me
that couldn’t ever love you all the way
and the truth is I’m scared that you know it
but we keep on going
cause we’re too afraid of what will change
but I love you too much to stay
loving you halfway
I can’t stop thinking there’s something about me
scared that you know it but we keep on going, going, going
but I love you too much to stay
loving you halfway
