Listen while you read!
And I thought that we were done
I was so scared to death
That I'd never get another chance
To share the same breath

With the girl in Nebraska
That turned me around
The day that I met you
Was the day that I found

reason to live
reason to breathe
You made me forget
Every insecurity

That I'd built up inside
Cause I just couldn't take it
I thought that I could
But I was sadly mistaken

Now it's your choice
You know that I'm crossing my fingers
That you'll give me a chance
Even though the fear lingers

Cause he left you a scar
That was deep enough to see
And I hate that because of him
You're doing this to me

So baby drop off the act
And drop down your guard
I made you the promise
That I won't break your heart

And when the sun starts to rise
And the spark starts between us
You can look in my eyes
And you'll know that I mean it

Oh... oh...
I swear that I'll mean it...
Oh... oh...
I swear that I'll mean it

 [bad word] 
I'm not leaving til you tell me
That we're meant to be
Because the feeling's got me restless
It's been weeks since I could sleep

I've been staring at the ceiling
And counting down the days
Until the moment that you finally
Open up to me

I've been taking [bad word] for granted
Because it's hard to care
About the other things in life
When I just wish that you were there

So baby stop the masquerade
I'll give you time to breathe
The only thing I ask for in return is that you
Open up to me...

Is that you open up to me...
Is that you open up to me...
Is that you open up to me...
Is that you open up to me...
*end [bad word] 

And I'd never missed you more
Than on the day I thought I lost you
It [bad word] me up so badly
Cause I thought for sure I'd caught you

And my sentences [bad word] like
They had no place to go
They haven't been the same since,
God dammit, I don't know

But what I know is that you feel it
Cause I can feel it to
It's like the sky is falling down
And there is nothing you can do

Or like your trapped inside a box
And no one's got the key
 [bad word] to make the rescue
If you would only let me...

Oh... oh...
If you would only let me...
Oh... oh...
If you would only let me...

 [bad word] 
I'm not leaving til you tell me
That we're meant to be
Because the feeling's got me restless
It's been weeks since I could sleep

I've been staring at the ceiling
And counting down the days
Until the moment that you finally
Open up to me

I've been taking [bad word] for granted
Because it's hard to care
About the other things in life
When I just wish that you were there

So baby stop the masquerade
I'll give you time to breathe
The only thing I ask for in return is that you
Open up to me...
*end [bad word] 

Me and you are the only thing I see...
Me and you are the only thing I see...

 [bad word] 
I'm not leaving til you tell me
That we're meant to be
Because the feeling's got me restless
It's been weeks since I could sleep

I've been staring at the ceiling
And counting down the days
Until the moment that you finally
Open up to me

I've been taking [bad word] for granted
Because it's hard to care
About the other things in life
When I just want you there

So baby stop the masquerade
I'll give you time to breathe
The only thing I ask for in return is that you
Open up to me...
*end [bad word] ?
