I'm not ready to confront 
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 anyway 

I won't hold anything back 
And 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 
But I'm not takin' anything back 

You still end up with 
Most of me 

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 
Do you love most of me? 

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
