I was wrong in leaving you
A reckless act I can't undo
Forgive me if my timing's off
But I have to speak before we're lost

There you stand in the rain
Your world appears in disarray
My fragile gift in despair
I need to handle this with care


I'm here today just to tell you
What you already know. I love you
But I'm so scared
If I do
You'll push me away

The cards you're dealt have knocked you down
I want to help. Don't be so proud
I hope you know that we are friends
But it's more than that, I won't pretend

I'm here today just to tell you
What you already know. I love you
But I'm so scared
If I do
You'll push me away

I should be able to say this
I want you so bad I can taste it
But I'm so scared
If I do
You might push me away

You'll Push Me Away

Written by Miles Richard Young and Yvonne Josephine Ridgeway

As we first learned to say goodbye 
I recall you had tears in your eyes 
It didn’t dawn on me till later on 
That day's gift was self sacrifice

Your push so gentle I was blind 
I was at the helm trying to thrive 
You raised me to walk my own way 
Even if you guided right every day

Shallows still and in need of rise 
I see myself through your eyes 
Head first and from the edge 
I dive in the deep end instead 
Head first and from the edge 
I dive in the deep end instead

All the lessons you passed onto me 
Were meant for us both to see 
That’s what’s so truly hard to grasp 
Loves pretty bow can't be tied by someone else instead

Shallows still and in need of rise 
I see myself through your eyes 
Head first and from the edge 
I dive in the deep end instead 

Head first and from the edge 
I dive in the deep end instead
Looking back I wish I’d stayed 
We were so deathly afraid 
The deep is an unforgiving place 
Not somewhere we feel so safe

Shallows still and in need of rise 
I see myself now from your eyes 
Head first and from the edge 
I dive in the deep end instead 
Head first and from the edge 
I dive in the deep end instead
I dive in the deep end instead
