[Intro] [Verse 1] You leave your keys on the kitchen counter But you keep your coat on by the door You say you want me closer, want me closer Then you go and step back across the floor I’m tired of reading between the shadows Trying to map the spaces in your mind You give me just enough to keep me waiting But never enough for me to find [Chorus] So love me or don't, it's time to choose I've got too much heart for us both to lose Don't leave me hanging on a fraying thread Saying all the things that you never said If you're gonna stay, then give me all your skin If you're gonna walk, then let the end begin Yeah, love me or don't 'Cause I can't keep living on a "maybe" note [Instrumental] [Verse 2] We're like a fire that's burning backward Smokin' out the room until we choke You hold my hand like it's a lifeline Then drop it like it's made of smoke I’m building castles on your shifting sand Hoping this time the tide won't turn But every promise is a box of matches And I am the one who gets to burn [Chorus] So love me or don't, it's time to choose I've got too much heart for us both to lose Don't leave me hanging on a fraying thread Saying all the things that you never said If you're gonna stay, then give me all your skin If you're gonna walk, then let the end begin Yeah, love me or don't 'Cause I can't keep living on a "maybe" note [Instrumental] [Bridge] I’d rather take the heavy blow of goodbye Than the slow bleed of an open lie So pack your bags or pull me close 'Cause this halfway ghost is what I hate the most [Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Just love me or don't, it's time to choose I've got too much heart for us both to lose Don't leave me hanging on a fraying thread Saying all the things that you never said If you're gonna stay, then give me all your skin If you're gonna walk, then let the end begin Yeah, love me or don't 'Cause I can't keep living on a "maybe" note [Outro] No more somewhere between No more reading what you mean Love me... Or don't. [End]
