Push away

(uh,

yeah)

(just trying to figure it out,

you know?)

I built these walls up high,

higher than a mountain peak Scared to let you hear the words

I'm too afraid to speak

Every time you reach your hand I draw back in the cold

Story of a lonely heart that's getting far too old I want

the warmth, I want the fire,

I want to feel the glow

But then the panic rises up and tells me I should go

I'm yearning for your touch but I push you away (so

far away) Afraid of how it hurts when the lovers decay

I lock the front door and I turn out the light

Wishing you were holding me close through the night

(holding me close)

I keep on double-checking every text you send to me

Looking for the exit sign,

the hidden guarantee

Of how it's gonna fall apart,

how I'll be left behind Creating problems in the silence of my

own mind I sabotaged the best thing that ever came my way

Now I'm standing in the rain with nothing left to say

I'm yearning for your touch but I push you away (so far

away) Afraid of how it hurts when the lovers decay

I lock the front door and I turn out the light

Wishing you were holding me close through the night

(holding me close)

(why do I do this?) (yeah,

just too scared)

(scared to be hurt again...)
