lyrics
i don't mean to string you along
no, i don't mean to do you wrong
i don't mean to complain when you ain't done no harm
i'm better off doing me alone
and i know i say one thing but i don't do the same
i'm like a garden left for change in rain.
so i'll slow it down, pump my brakes, try and find myself some grace
anything to ease your pain.
i could right my wrongs, i could dot my i's, i'll even get up in the sky
the simple things that say goodbye.
i could hold your hand, i could change my plans, try and be a better man
but i'll still just be me in the end.
it's been a long time comin' to find ourselves here
i've spent years trying to disappear.
now things have slowed down and i got out of town
i can't tell you i'll be back around.
there's a bus stop, baby, at the edge of the road.
and it'll push me off to gettin' older.
and if you see me again don't stare in my eyes
i have a feeling they'll be looking colder.
i could right my wrongs, i could dot my i's, i'll even get up in the sky
the simple things that say goodbye.
i could hold your hand, i could change my plans, try and be a better man
but i'll still just be me in the end.
i don't mean to string you along
no, i don't mean to do you wrong
