lyrics

If I close my eyes
Let trust metabolize
My double-standard rights to you'd be compromised

See I'm stuck in time
Can't let go of my past behavior, a behavior yet to be defined
My preemptive strike is to focus my attention on a question buried in the back of my mind

It's unacceptable
Hypocritical
A dictionary couldn't carry what I mean at all
My resorted crime is to focus my attention on a question buried in the back of my mind:

Has anybody ever called you "Baby"?
Has anybody ever called you theirs?
I do not want the answer at all, baby,
Just had to find a way to share

Please don't ask me why
It's more than I can hide
My double-standard pride is locked inside my cry

See I'm stuck in time
Can't let go of my past behavior, a behavior yet to be defined
My preemptive strike is to focus my attention on a question buried in the back of my mind

It's unacceptable
Hypocritical
A dictionary couldn't carry what I mean at all
My resorted crime is to focus my attention on a question buried in the back of my mind…

Has anybody ever called you "Baby"?
Has anybody ever called you theirs?
I do not want the answer at all, baby,
Just had to find a way to share

Has anybody ever called you "Baby"?
Has anybody ever called you theirs?
I do not want the answer at all, baby,
Just had to find a way to share

Tell me we're going to be okay
Tell me we’re going to be okay
Tell me we’re going to be okay alone
