[Verse 1]

I was trapped in the fire

I was caught in the flames

I almost drowned in the water

I was left in the rain

So I stay dry

You pulled me tight to your shoulder

Turned my head sideways

I guess I gave in the moment

When I gave up the race

I'll tell you why

[Chorus]

Oh I promised that I'd

Keep to myself this time

But I can't help the way I feel

And if you knew how hard I tried

To keep you off my mind

You'd know exactly why I'm here

[Verse 2]

I get the calls from my mama

Her worry bleeds into mine

She says you're just like my father

Gonna leave me behind

I built a wall in his absense

I never learned how to trust

And I gave into habit

When I pushed me off

So pull me in

[Chorus]

Oh I promised that I'd

Keep to myself this time

But I can't help the way I feel

And if you knew how hard I tried

To keep you off my mind

You'd know exactly why I'm here

[Bridge]

Don't keep me waiting, no

Don't keep me waiting on ya

Don't keep me waiting, no

Don't keep me waiting on ya

[Chorus]

Oh I promised that I'd

Keep to myself this time

But I can't help the way I feel

And if you knew how hard I tried

To keep you off my mind

You'd know exactly why I'm here

You'd know exactly why I'm here
