Love At Bay

I told you I was complicated
I told you there were no garentee’s
I thought it was worth the risk but I didn’t know I would lose so much sleep

I thought I shouldn’t try to fight it
If it’s a game we both want to play
I could see the red flags in the distance
but I couldn’t see the pain, with all your beauty in the way

Now I’m stepping back
Keeping love away
I learn the art of keeping myself away
If you swim to shore thou
It could go either way
I’m keeping love at bay

You said you were undecided
Whatever was would be
But every time you pull away I feel you taking another piece of me
I still don’t know what you wanted & this is all so new to me
You’re not much on talking & I don’t know the first thing about how things should be

So I’m stepping back
Keeping love away
I learn the art of keeping myself away
If you swim to shore thou
It could go either way
I’m keeping love at bay

Even if you’re not down with falling in love
Even if I am
You won’t hear it from me
But there’s a chance that you could be stalling for the possibility

So I’m stepping back
Keeping love away
I learn the art of giving myself away
If you swim to shore thou
It could go either way
I’m keeping love at bay
I’m keeping love at bay
I’m keeping love at bay
