Temporize

[Verse 1]
Since the day you left me, I’ve been feeling so alone
How could you walk away, leave me staring at my phone?
Patience running thin, but I still hold on tight
Hoping you’ll come back and make this wrong feel right

Was it something that I did, or something that I said?
Baby, please, won’t you talk to me — I need you in my head

[Chorus]
Temporize, you’re running out of time
I can’t keep waiting while you change your mind
Temporize, you’re holding back the flame
But I can’t keep standing in the rain
Temporize, I need you to choose
If you don’t, baby, I’ll have to move
Temporize, don’t let me slip away
I need your love, but I can’t stay

---

[Verse 2]
Miss the way you touched me, the way you used to please
Love like yours is rare, it’s all a girl would need
But I’m stuck here checking messages, hoping you’ll reply
Wondering if you’ll show, or just let this love die

Was it something that I did, or something that I said?
Baby, please, won’t you talk to me — I miss you in my bed


[Bridge]
I can’t remember what I did or what I said
Why you won’t come and talk to me, it’s stuck inside my head
I do miss you, baby, don’t leave me in the blue
I’m still holding space, but the choice is up to you


[Verse 3]
My friends, they laugh at me, say I’m foolish to believe
(Saving your place)
They don’t understand the way you mean the world to me
(You’re all I need)

Was it something that I did, or something that I said?
Baby, please, won’t you come back to me — I miss you in my bed


[Chorus x2]
Temporize, you’re running out of time
I can’t keep waiting while you change your mind
Temporize, you’re holding back the flame
But I can’t keep standing in the rain
Temporize, I need you to choose
If you don’t, baby, I’ll have to move
Temporize, don’t let me slip away
I need your love, but I can’t stay
