lyrics

You are not waiting for me
and I am not brave enough to ask you to,
but just this side of selfish enough
to think you should.

There's not enough wrong with me.
But don't turn your back on me-
I'm still damaged and I'm still shy
and I don't need to be saved, but I would let you try.

Don't turn your back on me.

But bravery is not for me.
No no no no no no no no no
not for me.
no no no no no no no no no.

I am weak and I am a coward
and I let you get away with things I know I shouldn't,
and you ask for more and more
even though you promised that you wouldn't.

And maybe I should stop being so goddamn helpless
and maybe I should grow a spine,
say no a few times,
practice my insouciance oh...

But indifference is not for me.
No no no no no no no no no
not for me.
No no no no no no no no no.

There's not enough wrong with me.
But don't turn your back on me-
I'm still damaged and I'm still shy
and I don't need to be saved, but I would let you try.

Don't turn your back on me.

I may not be there when you turn around again.
