I thought You left the front door open But it was just a window broken
Just a window to a life-- that didn't leave much room for me
Now I'm out here on the sideline kickin' myself all the damn time
You're once again scared to leave the comfort of a mediocre life
I can't make You follow through
It's what You have to choose
A tale as old as time
The story of our life
I can't make You follow through
So I guess I'll have to lose
A future here with You
Fate doesn't have a clue
I really wish I didn't fall for this
Every damn time
You've got the number to my heart
Even if it's just a lie
Just really wish You wouldn't tempt me
If you're not ready for the whole thing
Just another heartbreak
You'll always mean the world to me
I can't make You follow through
It's what You have to choose
A tale as old as time
The story of our life
I can't make You follow through
So I guess I'll have to lose
A future here with You
Fate doesn't have a clue
If it were an endless night
And You were by my side
Well it could have been a life
But you're running every time
