I'll never walk on water
But I won't let you drown
I'm not a knight in shining armor
Not your teacher, not your father
And I'm not your consolation prize.

So forgive me if I talk too much
Sometimes I go too far, I know
But I'm not the kind to ever take it slow
Baby I told you way too soon
About the wreckage of my past
Said "I love you" way too fast
But I just needed you to know.

I'm not perfect
But I'm more than my mistakes
All my history is haunted
With these things I thought I wanted
I lost myself along the way.

So forgive me if I talk too much
Sometimes I go too far, I know
But I'm not the kind to ever take it slow
Baby I told you way too soon
About the wreckage of my past
And said, "I love you" way too fast
But I just needed you to know.

If you ever have to leave here
And there's nothin' I can do
I won't beg and I won't plead here
I'll just be glad I got to be here
Yeah baby, to breathe here, for a while with you.

So forgive me if I talk too much
Sometimes I go too far, I know
But I'm not the kind to ever take it slow
Baby I told you way too soon
About the wreckage of my past
Said, "I love you" way too fast
But I just needed you to know.
