(Verse 1)
I've been on my way out for a minute
I know you saw that I wasn't with you, there, in it
Wasn't doing what I needed to do
To be there, to fix this, to keep you -- I know
And I would say I'm sorry, but I'm not
And I would say whatever you needed if I thought
I could make you understand how I'm pinned
Make you take a look at this all again,
I'm the wind
And I guess I'll keep on trying 'til it starts to feel okay
Got a gambler for a heart so I can never ever stay
My pockets were full, yeah, I had plenty
I could have sat there comfortable at 20
But still I kept telling the dealer to hit me
I always bust, my bad habits will get me
Catch me on the backside burning, hurting,
I know I break hearts, but I'm learning
The world in my mind won't ever stop turning
Don't give me your heart just because I pull the strings,
Got shaky hands, no good with fragile things
Girl, you can't be my angel, I've been known to clip wings
Save yourself, leave the phone on the hook when it rings
When you get that look in your eye, you're easy to believe
I believed that you would stay... I guess that's on me
Why did you make me feel like I could be what you need?
If I'm not just another girl, then why did you leave?
(Verse 2)
Baby,
I don't know if you hear me when I say that you're my home
I don't know if you hear me when I call you on the phone
Do you believe the things I say when we're alone?
I don't want to be doing this on my own, but I got to
My heart is turning into a storm and I'm afraid
You'd be the one stuck out in the rain if you stayed
I said I'm wind,
But lately I've been more like a tornado
And I'm leaving empty homes and broken bones wherever I go
You know it's safer if I leave
I'm underwater and I'm trying to make it safe for you to breathe
So please,
Don't make it harder than it's been
I may have broken both our hearts, but I toughened our skin
When you get that look in your eye, you're easy to believe
I believed that you would stay... I guess that's on me
Why did you make me feel like I could be what you need?
If I'm not just another girl, then why did you leave?
