He said she wasn't willing
He knew her like the back of his hand
And talk can be the enemy with all the wars that it has began
She said I will be the one to bring them crashing down on top of their knees
If you just stop to wind me up I'll race on my way

And I will run as fast as I can
Just to see you safe
Just to see you open your eyes
And see how far you could go
If you just hold on for me

They said she was a thrill and they said she'd never change what she was
But when we were alone she said she always felt alone
Time will overcome it always does but now
Am I the only one who sees the sad die young

And I will run as fast as I can
Just to see you safe
Just to see you open your eyes
And see how far you could go
If you just hold on for me

She said she wasn't willing to say she was a fan of your heart
Cuz every time it broke, it fell apart, it wasn't hers to begin with
And I still hope for a time, for the time...I think it's time we wore down

And I will run as fast as I can
Just to keep you safe
Just to make you open your eyes
And see how far you could go
If you just hold on for me
