[Verse 1]
I'm staying in bed thinking back on us
And everything that went wrong
Never said goodbye, think I broke your trust
Should've known this all along
Don't wanna be the one that you're trying to avoid
I'm feelin' so confused, why did I act so annoyed?
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna be strangers, baby
The next time when we meet
And, oh, it dawned on me, yeah, yes it did
[Chorus]
Not letting you go
'Cause what we had was golden
You gotta know
I was standing on the border
The walls around me kept me safe
I couldn't see that I was shutting you out
I'm stuck up and proud, but
I'm waking up now
Want you to know that I need you
I'm waking up now
You gotta know that I need you yeah
I'm waking up now
[Verse 2]
I'm a little messed up but it's time for me
To be dropping down my defense
I realize I wasn't there for real
What I did didn't make any sense
How can I get you close?
I see why you'd be so cold
But you need to forget everything that I've told ya
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna be strangers, baby
The next time when we meet
And, oh, it dawned on me, yeah, yes it did
[Chorus]
Not letting you go
'Cause what we had was golden
You gotta know
I was standing on the border
The walls around me kept me safe
I couldn't see that I was shutting you out
I'm stuck up and proud, but
I'm waking up now
Want you to know that I need you
I'm waking up now
You gotta know that I need you yeah
I'm waking up now
[Outro]
Oh yeah
I'm waking up now
I'm waking up now
Want you to know that I need you
(I'm waking up now
Want you to know that I need you yeah)
