We used to walk to the cemetery
And we'd hang out there
We would talk for hours and hours
Though we do that anywhere
We were young, I was strong
Never thought anything would go wrong
But now I know
And things are different now
You used to come to my old high school
And we'd hang out there
We would laugh for hours and hours
Though we do that anywhere
We were young, I was in love
Had no clue of what you were capable of
But now I know
And things are different now
And oh, the time does change us
Spins us around to rearrange us
I went from happy to dangerous
You went from 'bestie' to a stranger
It's all your fault, that I'm still in love
Now I walk to the cemetery
I hang out there
I think about you for hours and hours
But I do that anywhere
We have changed, nothing's the same
You've learned to forget my face and my name
I don't know
Why things are different now

Oh my darling it kills me to see you this way
Cuz I know you've got it in you to chase your demons away
You've come so far since we first met
And I hope you know I'm not giving up yet
Chorus
And I'll shelter you, in every late night phone call
I'll love you, every minute of the day
So please stay with me, oh, stay with me awhile
And I'll shelter you
With me you'll always have a home
And I know how things get bad when you've got time on your hands
So I'll always remind you of the life that we've planned
To have and to hold, not just under the covers
But for all time, giving strength to one another
Chorus
And I'll have you, for as long as you'll keep me
I'll hold you, 'til you crumble in my arms
I'll make a home for you, for as long as you need me
And I'll shelter you
My heart will always be your home
And I'll shelter you, in every word unspoken
I'll love you, until my dying day
So please stay with me, oh stay with me forever
My heart's for you, you see
With me you'll always have a home
My heart will always be your home

Now my resolve is peeling like the skin upon my lips
It's getting harder and harder to see if
The things that I am feeling are justified or just selfish
And it's a constant battle between my heart and my wits
Why did I have to go and turn it all to shit
Why was I unsatisfied with the beauty of your devotion?
Chorus
Oh, don't you know, my darlin', I'm just not worth it
I just can't make up my mind
And I know, my darlin', I'm just not worth it
I don't want you to keep wasting your time
So please, just leave me, and save yourself
I don't deserve anyone at all
Oh, please, just leave me, and save yourself
Make a wish upon a star that will not fall
And now my heart is crumbling like a snowdrift in the wind
What is this sorrow, that's slowly setting in?
Accepting the reality of the life that I have chosen
Now I feel like a tadpole who has not yet learned to swim
Why does my patience always have to wear so thin?
I realize for the first time that in my mind, I'm still broken
Chorus
Oh, don't you know, my darlin', I'm just not worth it
I've finally made up my mind
And I know, my darlin', I'm just not worth it
I'm sorry to have wasted your time
So please, just leave me, and save yourself
I don't deserve anyone at all
Oh, please, just leave me, and save yourself
Make a wish upon a star that will not fall

Who would ever think, that in the frigid winter cold
I'd find a boy who drags his feet just like I do
And he struggles with his demons and has a restless, wild soul
These are things I know and wrestle with, too
And he's told me all his stories, about his travels and his fears
In a way that makes me wish that I'd been there
But I'm constantly reminded of the space that lies between us
And I just hope that I'm not broken beyond repair
Chorus
Cuz his heart resides elsewhere, and though I try not to care
I know I'm fooling no one, least of all myself
And I know I can't go with him, cuz my anchors run too deep
And no matter how hard I try, he was never mine to keep
He was never mine to keep
And, baby, when you visit, I don't think we can be friends
Cuz the only thing I know for sure about love is that it ends
So please don't wake me when you leave, dear, you had best be on your way
I know that I could never be the one who would make you want to stay
Chorus
Cuz your heart resides elsewhere, and though I try not to care
I know I'm fooling no one, least of all myself
And I know I can't go with you, cuz my anchors run too deep
And no matter how hard I try, you were never mine to keep
And our story's truly ending, we're gonna have to be apart
But nothing's made me feel better than being a bookmark in your heart
But you'll never know how my heart sang on that walk back to your house
When you accidentally said that it was "our place"… your place
Chorus
No, I can't keep getting homesick for a place I've never been x4
