I used to be afraid to sleep
I used to feel so tired and weak
cause I lost control and fell to deep
and I can't figure out what it is I seek
I used to cry at night
and ask for guidance and stability
then you showed me a light
and gave me the feeling of affinity
I used to pretend I was made of stone
and I could never let anyone in
so I shut you out and stood alone
cause I've tried but I never win
then I was ready to open up, give us a try
and you know me better than you give credit for
but you freaked out without knowing why
to scared to not be enough for me anymore
Now this has turned into a game
you fought so hard for me
then you didn't feel the same
but you couldn't just let me be
when I am weak, you are the man
when I want you, then you don't
when I run, you turn into my biggest fan
when I give up, you suddenly won't
And again you start to act confuse
but I am through with the play
either you give in or lose
choose to stay or... ... walk away
