Do I want to go?
Do I really want to stay?
Do I really want to have it
Any other way?
Look what I've done,
Look where I'm at.
Go ahead and ask me if
I really want to change.
The answer is a yes,
But it also has a no.
Thing is, I don't really know
Where I want to go.
A part of me says that
It'd love to do so,
But what I fear is that
There're parts that don't.
I know which to listen to,
And I know what to do.
I need you to understand
That I'm trying to!
What I do not understand
is why it's hard to do.
You make it sound so easy,
Like flip a switch, then BOOM!
But you also say it isn't so,
So what am I to do?
How am I supposed to change
When I'm afraid of you?
I know it's all about me,
And I can set the pace.
But what if it backfires
And blows up in my face?
What if I'm too slow for you?
What am I to do?
Just let me be, and let me know
There's nothing I got to prove.
I'll do things at my own set pace,
Which might be slow for you,
But I'm changing nonetheless,
so please, just see me through?
So go ahead and ask me
If I really want to change.
Yes, I really, truly do,
Just not at your pace.
I know you're always there for me
No matter what I do.
So please, just let me set the pace;
I'll call when I need you.
Promise.
