Lyrics

I like you a little too much to be safe
I fight who I was but it's always the same
I might fool myself for a time
But it's clear to see
That only I'm to blame
For these tears that I cry
Ignoring the answer while asking why

I'm a fool for the ones who tell me maybe
The ones who build a wall for me to climb
Ain't it cruel what I do to myself baby
Breaking my heart
One maybe at a time

Well you like me enough not to know
If you should let me in or let me go
You might convince yourself for a while
It's enough that I make you smile
But I don't take your breath away
You don't feel the pull
That would make you stay

I'm a fool for the ones who tell me maybe
The ones who build a wall for me to climb
Ain't it cruel, what I do to myself baby
Breaking my heart
One maybe at a time

I should rather be alone than lonely next to you
I should rather be alone than never getting through
I should rather be alone than letting you leave me black and blue
I should rather be alone

But I'm a fool for the ones who tell me maybe
The ones who build a wall for me to climb
Ain't it cruel what I do to myself baby
Breaking my heart
One maybe at a time
