I dont want to sell myself short, and I can't take these chances for you, so don't wait up. Don't hold on.
I dont want to be that person, who took the light out of your eyes, so don't wait up. Don't hold on.
Everyone around us are making lies to hurt you, when all they want is to see you fall.

I don't wanna let you down,
Mess around and lie to you.
It would cut me up and beat me down,
I can't be the man for you right now,
But I, will try to be stronger,
And you, will try to start over.
'cause everyone around us are making lies to hurt you, when all they want is to see you fall.

I may spend my days without a partner that I can hold, kiss and love her.
And I may die an old man, cold in his bed, with thoughts in his head and memories of you.
You run away from the answers but you stand here asking questions.
I think you owe yourself some affection that I gave up.
They're in my head.

I dont want to sell myself short, and I can't take these chances for you, so don't wait up. Don't hold on.
I dont want to be that person, who took the light out of your eyes, so don't wait up. Don't hold on.
Everyone around us are making lies to hurt you, when all they want is to see you fall.

Well they say that if you love someone, then you have got to let them go,
And if they come back they were always yours, but baby I don't think that we're there yet.
We've grown apart and that breaks my heart, there was love but now it's from afar.
You've got to sail on out to sea, move along and go be free.
I'll always be apart of your past, remember me when your future starts.

 

I dont want to sell myself short, and I can't take these chances for you, so don't wait up. Don't hold on.

How am I supposed to stand here next to you, and know that this isn't love, and know that this ain't love? and if this ship I captain starts to sink, then baby I'll be the first and the last... the first and the last to go down.

So sail on.
If it goes down this way then Sail on.
If you're alone at the bay then Sail on
If you loved me at you'll Sail on

I'm sorry I've got to let you go,
I'm sorry, no.
