I'd rather cement my words this way

This could be the easy road out

But I'm just not all that happy

So I'm writing all this down

And I'll file it in a drawer someday

In lieu of a conversation

We'd probably forget to have anywayCHORUS

I won't hold anything back

I won't hold anything in

Feel like I know where this is going

And I might know how it ends

But I'm still

Willing to begin

You should know my story by now

And why I'm optimistic cautiously

I understand it's not your fault

You still end up with

You still end up with

I won't hold anything back

I won't hold anything in

Feel like I know where this is going

And I might know how it ends

But I'm still

Willing to begin

I expect you to fly from NY to LA

And land on my doorstep

And smile at me and say

It was worth it to see most of me

You're just crossing paths

You're just crossing paths

With the way he left me

I'm not sayin' a word

But I'm watching you quietly

You're gonna have to prove me wrong

Before I know this is right

We don't have to decide tonight

Just wait for me patiently

And you'll get all of me

I won't hold anything back

I won't hold anything in

Feel like I know where this is going

And I might know how it ends

But I'm still

Willing to begin
