I've got a life in my hands
I barely know what I'm doing
She doesn't quite understand
This is not like the movies where everything fades to black
And it's all happy endings but that's just pretending
'Cause the world doesn't work like that
It's always changing
She's sick of waiting

Her patience is over
And she can see the other side tonight
Her head needs my shoulder
But I don't have the heart to tell her

She takes me way too serious
I'm just someone who's out of his league
She takes me way too seriously

You'd think by now she would know
That I'm hardly deserving
My kind of love doesn't always show
'Cause it's under the surface where everything tends to stay
I can never be lonely if nobody knows me
But I wish that it wasn't this way
I'm thinking of changing
She's sick of waiting

Her patience is over
And she can see the other side tonight
Her head needs my shoulder
But I don't have the heart to tell her

She takes me way too serious
I'm just someone who's out of his league
She takes me way too seriously

I didn't mean to lead you on
I never meant to start a fight
But everything I do is wrong

I take myself too seriously

Her patience is over
And she can see the other side tonight
Her head needs my shoulder
But I don't have the heart to tell her

She takes me way too serious
I'm just someone who's out of his league
I can't be all I wanted to be

She takes me way too seriously
