Made him take the longest way home
Hoping he would change his mind before he dropped me off
And I thought if I said nothing

I'd make him think of something
That was worth holding on to!
But I never really gave him the choice to choose

Hate myself for not letting those blue eyes see
Anything but the car door slammed behind me
I bet he thought that meant more than goodbye


Now I'm standing in this crowd of people
Wishing he was one of them so I could see him

I'd say what I said under my breath to myself after he left
That I, I, I know I said go, but it aloes meant stay!


Now I know I'll just look for him in everyone else, instead
Of asking him into come back
And I wonder when 3 am rolled around

Was when he figured out that
Talking to himself in an empty room was
Was exactly what I was doing too

Just too soon to go!



Now I'm standing in this crowd of people
Wishing he was one of them so I could see him
I'd say what I said under my breath to myself after he left

That I, I, I know I said go, but it aloes meant stay!

And the first time that he actually listened to me

It's when I needed him to disagree the most
I need him to come back and hold everything,
Catch it all while I was letting go,

Well I was only as far as behind my front door
I was just waiting for him!



Now I'm standing in this crowd of people
Wishing he was one of them so I could see him

I'd say what I said under my breath to myself after he left
That I, I, I know I said go, but it aloes meant stay!
