tick

it's too risky to do this now
we don't have time so let's just wait
for a little while and start over
from a different place
we need to be alone before we can be together
and we need to know what it's like to be
without each other
i don't know about you but
i cannot afford to lose you
so i'm going to apologize in advance
for the way i'm going to treat you
i don't expect you to understand
but it's okay
i'm sorry this is the only way i know how
