I wake up
Something more than what I'm supposed to be
Something more than I have meant to show.
How was I supposed to know
That I've wanted, and I've waited.

And I can be the one
To show you that life's not simple enough.
And I can be the one
To tell you I've held this back for too long.

And my heart aches...
These feelings I've held inside for you.
And my heart aches...
How can I stop the pain?

Never sometimes.
Well I never wanted
It to be this way with you.
So broken-hearted.
Look at all the things
We've been through.
Sometimes i,
Sometimes I can catch up with your words.
You're hard to follow,
So hard to follow.

Tragic,
To realize that you talk too much.
So tragic,
To realize that you're far too gone
To say you're wrong.
Sometimes i,
Sometimes I can catch up with your words.
You're hard to follow,
So hard to follow.

Tie the rope around me once more.
I might bend, but I won't break.

Take this timeout
To find yourself.
Take this timeout to learn.

    this will change everything about how you feel about this song lol..Jordan Pundik said at a show that it's about when Ian and Steve got really drunk and kissed each other...the lyrics also fit in with holding something back for so long (their feelings for each other) i used to be able to cry at this song but now it just makes me smile :D

    Jordan is just being funny when he was talking about ian and steve live... really, who plays neverending story or peter sintera's the glory of love or even that warrant cover thats actually serious... dont believe that its really about them, its about the whole loving someone and not telling them soon enough, kinda like hit or miss 'have i waited too long'

    Well i love this song, cos I can relate to it. But I think it's about someone just expressing their feelings towards the person they love, but then regretting it. Longing to be loved by the person they love. It's cute.

    i thinks this song is about someone that can't tell the person they love how they feel and it hurts! they are scared of rejection, which i can relate too!! but this song rocks and makes me cry when im sad! :)

    this song is awesome, i think it is about someone expressing their feelings towards the person they love and regretting it because they have waited too long to do it and the other person has moved on because they didn't know that you felt the way you do

    this song means to me that he my have fallen in love witha friend and was afraid to tell her because he didnt want to ruin the relationship. then once he does tell her I would assume she rejects him saying "we are too good of friends to ruin this" when all he wants is her love. or thats how I feel anyway. Well this song to me is almost an anthem of my broken friendship with a friend of mine for 3 years. I told her how I felt and now its ruined.
