I disappointed you, didn't I?
You think I didn't even try
But I'm still working on
Before and what went wrong

Seems easy for you to stand up straight
You said take your time, you'd wait
Not going, anywhere
It was okay to dare

Trying to catch up with you
Laugh like you do
Love like you do
Leave mistrust behind
Don't let hurt blind
Was catching up to you
Just a few more strides
I'd run right next to you

What changed your mind, was it too much work
Needed too much, battered and broke
And you couldn't see
Chances taken silently

I'm not the type to toot my own horn
Quiet in my need and my gains
But I was learning
Babe, I was turning

Trying to catch up with you
Laugh like you do
Love like you do
Leave mistrust behind
Don't let hurt blind
Was catching up to you
Just a few more strides
I'd run right next to you

Can't ask you to stay, for all you gave
All you are, your sweetness I crave
Doing all I could
Leaping as I should

Trying to catch up with you
Laugh like you do
Love like you do
Leave mistrust behind
Don't let hurt blind
Was catching up to you
Just a few more strides
I'd run right next to you

How could I disappoint, wish you'd see
I tried to give you all of me
Coming out of my shell
Crawling out of hell

When I look back at this lonely end
I'll miss my friend, oh, will need my friend
Just needed more time
Just needed more time
