4:28 P.M.
You say I am first rate
I make you safe and strong
When do words come too late
If only the good die young
You say I am your life, your will
Put me at the center of your world
Believing in what you think you feel
But I am just a girl
I sit high atop these fences
Regretting all I had once been
I let down my defenses
As I let you in
You think I am wise
You treat me with much respect
Try so hard not to be the "other" guys
As you tell my heart she has nothing to protect
I'm willing to tell you up front
I have grown numb
The more your heart wants
The less I will become
Long for your touch
When you�re not around
My heart feels so much
Yet my mouth makes no such sound
I don't know what I need
I only know it's never enough
I have no clue how to succeed
Maybe that's why this seems so rough
I am so lucky
For all that I have
But still I am so picky
And I want something tangible to grab
Leaving me more empty
Than the woman you think I am
You give me sympathy
Because I am your innocent lamb
You believe in me
Like no one else could
You see what no one sees
Believing these dreams no one else would
If I can do no wrong
Why doesn't this feel more right
If only the good die young
Go.... leave me in peace tonight
