I'll never walk on water
But i won't let you drown
I'm not a knight in shining armor
Not your teacher, not your father
And i'm not your consolation prize.

So forgive me if i talk too much
Sometimes i go too far, i know,
But i'm not the kind to ever take it slow
Baby i told you way too soon
About the wreckage of my past
Said "i love you" way too fast
But i just needed you to know.

I'm not perfect
But i'm more than my mistakes
All my history is haunted
With these things i thought i wanted
I lost myself along the way.

So forgive me if i talk too much
Sometimes i go too far, i know,
But i'm not the kind to ever take it slow
Baby i told you way too soon
About the wreckage of my past
Said "i love you" way too fast
But i just needed you to know.

If you ever have to leave here
And there's nothing i can do
I won't beg and i won't plead here
I'll just be glad i got to be here
To breathe here, for a while with you.

So forgive me if i talk too much sometimes
Sometimes i go too far, i know,
But i'm not the kind to ever take it slow
Baby i told you way too soon
About the wreckage of my past
Said "i love you" way too fast
But i just needed you to know
