I’ve got a life in my hands   I barely know what I’m doing   She doesn’t quite understand   This is not like the movies where everything fades to black   And it's all happy endings but that’s just pretending   'Cause the world doesn’t work like that   It's always changing   She’s sick of waiting      Her patience is over   And she can see the other side tonight   Her head needs my shoulder   But I don’t have the heart to tell her      She takes me way too serious   I’m just someone who’s out of his league   She takes me way too seriously      You’d think by now she would know   That I’m hardly deserving   My kind of love doesn’t always show   'Cause it's under the surface where everything tends to stay   I can never be lonely if nobody knows me   But I wish that it wasn’t this way   I'm thinking of changing   She’s sick of waiting      Her patience is over   And she can see the other side tonight   Her head needs my shoulder   But I don’t have the heart to tell her      She takes me way too serious   I’m just someone who’s out of his league   She takes me way too seriously      I didn’t mean to lead you on   I never meant to start a fight   But everything I do is wrong      I take myself too seriously      Her patience is over   And she can see the other side tonight   Her head needs my shoulder   But I don’t have the heart to tell her      She takes me way too serious   I’m just someone who’s out of his league   I can’t be all I wanted to be      She takes me way too seriously
