[Verse 1]
Stay with me, patiently
'Til I come 'round
But I won't be, tied to dreams
Not my own

[Pre-Chorus]
I know I promised that I would come through
Despite all my fear of committing my time to you
You're giving me love, I just can't see it now
Like each of your words goes in one ear and out
Oh please, oh please

[Chorus]
Pull me close and let me go
I can't be your hand to hold
Let me know life on my own
Cut your ropes and let me go

[Verse 2]
I don't know what I need
But I know
That you can't bring enough for me
To settle down

[Pre-Chorus]
I know I promised that I would come through
Despite all my fear of committing my time to you
You're giving me love, I just can't see it now
Like each of your words goes in one ear and out
Oh please, oh please
[Chorus]
Pull me close and let me go
I can't be your hand to hold
Let me know life on my own
Cut your ropes and let me go
Pull me close and let me go

[Bridge]
You're waiting for flames
That won't ever come home
Kept safely at bay but never returned
Tell me I can change and someday I'll grow
Into a woman that knows how to love
You so hold me
And show that I can be lonely and complete

[Chorus]
Pull me close and let me go
I can't be your hand to hold
Let me know life on my own
Cut your ropes and let me go
Pull me close and let me go
I can't be your hand to hold
Let me know life on my own
Cut your ropes and let me go
Pull me close and let me go
