Second Thought

No one wants to be that
You've gotta know
Sometimes just seems so
Same old same old

First impressions tends to be so good
Then there is the standard
I just don't know
I'm not ready right now
We made a mistake
Let's just take a step back now

When did I turn into the one
Who doesn't walk away
I'm not asking for the world
But in reality, I'm asking for you
In retrospect I guess I am
Asking for the world

There is an ache
For that pretty little face
The one that calls
And asks when I'm coming home

No one wants to be
The second thought
Always a great friend
But friend seems mediocre
Compared to being your love

And so I drive
Letting all this soak in
I know I have conversations
That we've never had

Sometimes patience just means
Coming to terms with
Reality, and letting it be
Take a cold, hard look
And just let it be

It's been five years
Since I felt this way
Is it worth all this
Back and forth
Not so sure anymore
