lyrics

don’t tell me what you think i want to hear
honestly your honesty is all i need from you
though i fear i’ve got the answers
the script in hand pre-programmed
all my stories end the same

maybe you’re different than all of my dreams
that leave me standing alone on this street
i’m fine by myself don’t need anyone else
sure sometimes its lonely
but if i’m not your type
please don’t be polite
just tell me to leave

i used to be afraid
of tasting
the bittersweet of love
and losing it again
i stayed inside
kept my heart alive
and cards close to my skin
but I lived to sing about it
i’ll push aside my doubt
and take a chance on you

maybe you’re different than all of my dreams
that leave me standing alone on this street
i’m fine by myself don’t need anyone else
given time I’ll be ok
but if i’m not your type
please don’t be polite
just tell me to leave

i’m falling asleep with too many questions to sort
wondering what’s really going on in your thoughts
though i’m prepared for whatever will be
it only ever seems to be time to wait
and wait and wait
and wait, and wait, wait
there’s always next year

maybe you’re different than all of my dreams
that leave me standing alone on this street
i’m fine by myself don’t need anyone else
sure sometimes it’s lonely
but if i’m not your type
please don’t be polite
just tell me to leave

maybe you’re different than all of my dreams
that leave me standing alone on this street
here at your side it wouldn’t be a lie
to say i want to remain
on the chance your type
please don’t be polite
just tell me i’d better stay

on the chance i’m your type
don’t be polite
please tell me to stay
