Every second countsI am aware that time is scarce and I don't want to waste it.
I don't wanna talk to you anymore, andI am tired of talking to you and I would like some time alone.
All these little gamesI am tired of the mind games and would like some honesty and transparency.
You can call me by the name I gave youI would like to be addressed by the name I prefer.
Yesterday, yeahLooking at how things used to be makes me miss those good times.
Every minute countsI don't want to waste any more time on activities that do not add any value.
I don't wanna watch TV anymore, yeahI am not finding any joy in watching TV and would like to do something more productive instead.
Can you figure me out?I am complex and hard to understand, can you handle that?
Just doin' to waste more time on the couchI am doing activities that are not adding value just so I can pass the time.
Can you see me? I'm waiting for the right timeI am waiting for the perfect moment and I hope you see that.
I can't read you, but if you want, the pleasure's all mineIf you are not revealing your true self, it is up to you, but I am open to whatever you want.
Can you see me using everything to hold back?I am trying my best not to reveal too much too soon and take things slow.
I guess this could be worseThings could be worse than they are now and I am thankful for that.
Walkin' out the door with your bagsI am ready to leave this situation behind and move on with my life.
Pour your glass of wineLet's relax and try to create a good atmosphere.
Mitchell told me I should be just fine, yeahSomeone tried to comfort me and assure me that everything will be okay.
Cases under the bedThere are secrets hidden from sight.
Spill it open, let it rush to my headRevealing those secrets will bring a rush of emotions.
I don't wanna be forward, I don't wanna cut cornersI want to take things slow and build a relationship on a strong foundation.
Savor this with everything I have inside of meI want to enjoy every moment to the fullest and make this a memorable experience.
I'm not the type to run, I know that we're having funI am committed to making this work and having a good time with you.
But what's the rush? Kissing, then my cheeks are so flushedWe don't need to rush things and I am enjoying the slow buildup of intimacy and passion.
Tell you how I feltI want to be honest and open about my feelings.
Sugar coated melting in your mouthI want to express my feelings in a sweet and charming way.
Pardon my emotionsI hope you can be understanding of my feelings and not judge me for them.
I should probably keep it all to myselfMaybe I should not say anything and keep my feelings to myself to avoid getting hurt.
Know you'd make fun of meI am afraid to be vulnerable because I fear being ridiculed and hurt.
