"I've been keeping the secret storm
In a place where my heart is warm 
And I spilled the story on your page
And you are afraid of female rage
As I shout down the line
Why do I have to say this a thousand times
"I just want you to understand 
Why won't you just be my man"
But you check out and run
Close the door like the whole thing is done
Drop the phone like it's a hot potato
And I still remember what you said about Tayto
And it wasn't funny but I laughed
And I was ready to do what you asked
And it scared me that all I valued fell
When you asked me if I was well
I just want to live up to your measure
You are something that I treasure
And the memory is enough to keep the wheel going
But is it a cog, there's no way of knowing
Coz the clock is running down 
Only so much time in life on the ground
As we try to make the most of what we're given 
And you look at me like you're the unforgiven 
But I love you more than I can contain
You are pure and undecided as rain
That just pours from the sky
You leaned into my shoulder and I can't tell you why
I let you rest there
Then turn around like I don't care
Except to say I was scared as hell
And I still am though I wish you well
And you've made a whole world away from me 
And I should be glad that you are free
But I just sit in bitter repose
And wonder why I chose
To let you slip through the cracks
The long and the short of it is I want you back
