Did You?

Baby, I've been thinking about the things you said
I've never heard you talk that way before
Crying on the corner of that white twin bed you adore

Of course I'm not the person who you made me out to be
Idealized in your mind for a year
So you can push me out, or you can love me while I'm still here

Oooh ooh oooh
Oooh ooh oooh

The last thing that I want is to make you feel chained down
All I want to do is be your friend
It's only the beginning, but you've always felt like the end

I want to lift you up, I want to soar beside you
Your words, they burn with brilliance and fire
But when you shoot them at me, it gets hard to fly any higher

Oooh ooh oooh
Oooh ooh oooh

Baby, I don't know

Why, why won't you try
'Cause love, it takes time
Real love, it takes time
It's so easy to hide
But when your tears have dried, I won't be beside you

Did you forget about Brooklyn?
Our drives to Manhattan?
The hope in your blue eyes
Did you fall victim to winter?
This town's a constrictor, suffocating you slowly

So break, break toward the future
Into the open
I'll run beside you
Just take, take my cold hand
And we'll run until we both forget where we're going
And soon we'll be flying
Soon we'll be flying

Oooooh

Of course I'm not the person who you made me out to be
Idealized in your mind for a year
So you can push me out, or you can love me while I'm still here
