In My Place

Keep me guessing

Keep me waiting because you know you can

Take without ever giving

Take advantage of me being your biggest supporter and fan

As I reach out, you walk ahead

You want to see how long I'll chase

But as I get closer, you walk away

You want to keep me in my place

Don't let me in, push me away

Don't let me get too close

Personal space is healthy

But it's toxic at this dose

My heart's just collateral damage

I don't know when I'll learn

My opinions are a non-issue

Everything is always on your terms

Remind me you don't need me

Remind me you're not mine

Come and go as you please

But you still stay on my mind

As I reach out, you walk ahead

You want to see how long I'll chase

But a I get closer, you walk away

You want to keep me in my place

Ask me to come running

Ask me to cross an ocean because you know I will

You won't jump over a puddle for me

But we both know I'll love you still
