i know you go wherever i am
but right now that doesn't feel like enough
this choice has consequences
i can't see clearly enough to judge
everything could change
maybe staying the same
is the very thing that's kept me blind
but i'm happy in this place
don't want to walk away
without something from you to hide behind
i don't want to say no just because i am afraid
i don't want to say yes just so i can run away
i don't want to hold out for a prize that never comes
but i don't want to give up on all i could become
i need some direction
what do i have to do to hear your voice?
cause i see no connection
between what i know of you and this choice
i don't want to venture out
when i'm still so full of doubt
guessing my way through what lies ahead
i don't want to say no just because i am afraid
i don't want to say yes just so i can run away
i don't want to hold out for a prize that never comes
but i don't want to give up on all i could become
