_______________________________________________

I lost my mind--I didn't have a clue
I couldn't see--I didn't think it through
But you stayed faithful all the while
It wasn't that I didn't know that truth
It was just I couldn't seem to choose
What I should...

So what did I decide?
How could I respond?
When I could feel that you
Still loved me all along
I was so confused
You were so unmoved

Chorus:
When you were the one who came down and stayed close
You were the hand that would not let me go
I make it all about me when it's the wrong thing to do
You were the one--
It was you

I messed it up-- I wasted so much time
I couldn't see the thing you had in mind
So I stayed the course that I was on
But you were good, you cared enough to stop
You opened up the doors that had been locked
And saved me

I wanted to leave
Well-enough alone
I didn't want to risk
I couldn't seem to grow
I was such a fool
You were staying true

Chorus

I wanted to leave
Well-enough alone
I didn't want to risk
I couldn't seem to grow
I was such a fool
You were being you
