Cliff hanger

you have no
reason to stay
yet here i am
begging you
not to
leave me
here just yet

i have no
self-control
i'm losing it
losing you
selfishly
feeling what
i can't

the clocks' running out
now speak out
before it's too late

you look at me
your eyes captivating
pull my heartstrings
you speak to me
your voice resounds
like thunder now
i'm hangin' onto every last word
trying to make it something
it's not or something that it
could be if you just told me
how you feel

we have no
concept of time
we're lost in
each other's smiles
for a while
i think you
feel the same

i know there's something
going on in your head and
maybe you'd be better off
instead, pretending that
we aren't more than just friends
but i know this isn't the end

so live in the moment
don't deny what you're
trying to hide
cause i'm hiding it too
i'm scared of it too

but it's now or never
and we have nothing to gain
but lately we have nothing to lose

cause when you look at me
your eyes captivate me
pull my heartstrings
when you speak to me
your voice resounds like thunder
now i'm hangin' onto every last word
trying to make it something
trying to make me something i'm
hangin' onto every last word
