lyrics

Hey green eyes,
I'm not fit for love
My ex-lover's got my head messed up
I'm in a bad way

I'm sure your intentions are true
Your smile; sweet
But I'm like a captain stuck on land
When his ship is lost at sea

I've been taking steps towards getting better now
While you've been taking steps towards letting yourself down
But it's not my place to save you now
No, that is something you will have to figure out

I would be terribly remiss
To promise you a love that I just can't give
It will take much longer than two weeks
To mend the broken parts of me
So I wrote myself this note that read,
"As Long As It Takes."
Just to remind myself the beauty in having to wait

I've been taking steps towards getting better now
While you've been taking steps towards letting yourself down
But it's not my place to save you now
No, that is something you will have to figure out

I've developed this tick that is worse when I am nervous
It's the little things I wanna blame on you
But I know they'd lack purpose
So I remember what Marcella said
Before that sweet soul went back home
"Love someone with all you are, and you will never live alone."

I've been taking steps towards getting better now
While you've been taking steps towards letting yourself down
But it's not my place to save you now
No, that is something you will have to figure out
