Stay with me, patiently 'Til I come around But I won't be, tied to dreams Not my own I know I promised that I would come through Despite all my fear of committing my time to you You're giving me love, I just can't see it now Like each of your words go in one ear and out Oh please, oh please Pull me close and let me go I can't be your hand to hold Let me know life on my own Cut your ropes and let me go I don't know what I need But I know That you can't bring enough for me To settle down I promised that I would come through Despite all my fear of committing my time to you You're giving me love, I just can't see it now Like each of your words go in one ear and out Oh please, oh please Pull me close and let me go I can't be your hand to hold Let me know life on my own Cut your ropes and let me go Pull me close and let me go You're waiting for flames That won't ever come home Keep safely at bay but never returned Tell me I can change and some day I'll grow Into a woman that knows how to love You so hold me And show that I can be lonely and complete Pull me close and let me go I can't be your hand to hold Let me know life on my own Cut your ropes and let me go Pull me close and let me go I can't be your hand to hold Let me know life on my own Cut your ropes and let me go Pull me close and let me go
