I waited so long
For this moment
It’s been 10 years
Don’t you know it?
I was so hopeful
My spirits lifted
Thankful for what
I had been gifted
Getting to know you
My greatest interest
Little did I know
This caused you distress
So you
You said you needed space
You work the night shift
You get out late
It makes me worry
And so I wait
For you to call me
To let me know
You got home safely
Your anguish grows
‘Cause you don’t know me
So there’s no trust
Basically strangers
There is no “us”
So you
You said you needed space
You
You said you needed space
It’s not about me
Or how I feel
It’s about you
And how you heal
So I’ll go silent
I’ll let you lead
Give you time
You say you need
‘Cause you
You said you needed space
You
You said you needed space

Not mad, just disappointed
Like your folks when you broke curfew
Not even sure you did that
I’m still getting to know you
Can’t say you broke my heart
‘Cause it’s not yours to break but
I know I’d be a liar if I said that wasn’t at stake
You’ve got me out here actin’ foolish
My eyes glued to my phone
Hopin’ that I hear from you
While still tryna leave you alone
‘Cause you said you needed space and
I think that that’s ok but
I really wanna close this distance
But I don’t want to be insistent
You’ve got me up
You’ve got me down
My head’s spinnin’ around
You take me high
Then drop me low
With no way to know
How you’re feelin’, baby
Is it “yes”, “no”, is it “maybe”?
You’ve got me so confused
I’m livin’ for your every move
Follow you on Instagram
Tryin’ hard not to like all your old posts
Not like you share anything new
Might as well be a ghost
Set your number to my favorites
To make sure I get all your texts
May seem a bit excessive
But I don’t know when I’ll hear from you next
You’ve got me out here actin’ foolish
My eyes glued to my phone
Hopin’ that I hear from you
While still tryna leave you alone
‘Cause you said you needed space and
I think that that’s ok but
I really wanna close this distance
But I don’t want to be insistent
You’ve got me up
You’ve got me down
My head’s spinnin’ around
You take me high
Then drop me low
With no way to know
How you’re feelin’, baby
Is it “yes”, “no”, is it “maybe”?
You’ve got me so confused
I’m livin’ for your every move
You’ve got me up
You’ve got me down
My head’s spinnin’ around
You take me high
Then drop me low
With no way to know
How you’re feelin’, baby
Is it “yes”, “no”, is it “maybe”?
You’ve got me so confused
I’m livin’ for your every move

Pall Mall between your lips
Hair in a messy bun
In a windowless room
There is no sun
In artificial light
I see you smile
And even I can tell
That it’s been a while
And yet you carry on
Not a care in the world
Yeah, you look so strong
For a broken girl
You fool everyone
I thought it was just me
Thought everything was fine
And there was chemistry
But I am foolish in my hope
I guess I really should have known
But I am here to carry your baggage
If you want the help
It’s not wrapped up in a neat little package
But that’s just as well
And we both know your story is tragic
Maybe you’re hard to sell
But I am here to carry your baggage
If you want the help
Two different wavelengths
For you and I
Could be the start of love
But your heart, you hide
But I don’t blame you
You’ve been there before
Thoughts of self doubt
Beating down your door
But I’m still foolish in my hope
And I’ll probably never know
But I am here to carry your baggage
If you want the help
It’s not wrapped up in a neat little package
But that’s just as well
And we both know your story is tragic
Maybe you’re hard to sell
But I am here to carry your baggage
If you want the help
‘Cause I am foolish in my hope
And I guess I’ve always known
But I am here to carry your baggage
If you want the help
It’s not wrapped up in a neat little package
But that’s just as well
And we both know your story is tragic
Maybe you’re hard to sell
But I am here to carry your baggage
If you want the help
But I am here to carry your baggage
If you want the help
It’s not wrapped up in a neat little package
But that’s just as well
And we both know your story is tragic
Maybe you’re hard to sell
But I am here, I’ll carry your baggage
If you want the help
If you want the help

It’s been weeks since I’ve heard from you
What’s a lonely heart like mine to do?
My head says I should just set your free
But my heart knows that won’t work for me
This push and pull, it tears me apart
As I lie awake alone in the dark
Why can’t I just let you go?
The deepest part of me, it knows
I wanna be the Barry to your Iris
I want so badly for us to try this
All I want is just one shot
Give it everything that I’ve got
And though I know I may be biased
I think I could be the Barry to your Iris
So I will slowly try to win your heart
Though I’m not quite sure where to start
You’re still a bit of a mystery
But I know I want you close to me
I wanna be the Barry to your Iris
I want so badly for us to try this
All I want is just one shot
Give it everything that I’ve got
And though I know I may be biased
I think I could be the Barry to your Iris
I know inside you worry
But just know I’m in no hurry
Because I know you’re worth the wait
I hope that you believe in fate
I wanna be the Barry to your Iris
I want so badly for us to try this
All I want is just one shot
Give it everything that I’ve got
Do I have to save the world
To get you to be my girl?
I’ll speed through all of space and time
If that’s what it takes to make you mine
And though I know I may be biased
I think I could be the Barry to your Iris

Miles of darkened highway
Stretch out before me
There’s more behind me
In the rear view
As I make my way back to my empty bed
Of course my thoughts, they
Turn to you
While the silence in my home is deafening
The picture in my head is clear
It’s exactly what I can’t have
All I want is to hold you near
This dull ache inside my chest lulls me to sleep
Where I’ll dream of all the secrets that you keep
What I don’t know about you could fill volumes
Trying desperately to tear down your walls
Knowing all along I’ll never be yours
Yet my heart it falls, falls, falls
And just like that I’m awake
Numb and refusing the light
I just lay there and listen
To the horrid lullaby of the night
This dull ache inside my chest lulls me to sleep
Where I’ll dream of all the secrets that you keep
What I don’t know about you could fill volumes
Trying desperately to tear down your walls
Knowing all along I’ll never be yours
Yet my heart it falls, falls, falls
Selfishly I wonder, “do you think of me?”
Hopelessly, I answer my own question
Quietly, I resolve to not let go
Foolishly, I’ll never learn my lesson
What I don’t know about you could fill volumes
Trying desperately to tear down your walls
Knowing all along I’ll never be yours
Yet my heart it falls, falls, falls
What I do know about you could fill my heart
If I eventually tear down your walls
Knowing all along I could be yours
My heart it falls, falls, falls

Every day I wake, it’s the same thing
I wonder what each new day will bring
But deep inside I know the truth
Another day I won’t hear from you
I’ve spent my time being so naive
With all my heart I wanted to believe
That in your own way you care
But if you did, you’d actually be there
You’ve told me everything I need to know
There’s only one way this will go
Gotta know when to call it
When things aren’t meant to be
Gotta open my eyes
When I’m too blind to see
Gotta lead with my head
Instead of with my heart
Looks like it’s over before it gets to start
How do I move on from a ghost?
Something that was foolish hope at most
I guess I’ll just have to figure it out
Anything is better than all this doubt
You’ve told me everything I need to know
There’s only one way this will go
Gotta know when to call it
When things aren’t meant to be
Gotta open my eyes
When I’m too blind to see
Gotta lead with my head
Instead of with my heart
Looks like it’s over before it gets to start
That’s it, I quit
You win this round
After this big hit
I’m going down
I hate to be the one to fold
But honestly, this has gotten old
Congratulations, my dear, you’ve won
We have ended before we’ve begun
Gotta know when to call it
When things aren’t meant to be
Gotta open my eyes
When I’m too blind to see
Gotta lead with my head
Instead of with my heart
Looks like it’s over before it gets to start
Gotta know when to call it
When things aren’t meant to be
Gotta open my eyes
When I’m too blind to see
Gotta lead with my head
Instead of with my heart
Looks like it’s over before it gets to start
