In case you forget
It took me years to build these walls
Built on sweat and built on pain
And losses big and small
In case you forget
It took so long to get this hard
Layer upon layer and
Scars upon more scars

So let me remind you
This is no small move that I make
And let me remind you
There's only so much I can take

In case you forget
Why it is I hesitate
How many times must I be wrong
'Fore I refuse the bait
In case you forget
Why it is I'm moving slow
Why I dip my toe in before all the way I go

So let me remind you
This is no small choice that I make
And let me remind you
Of everything that is at stake
And you have my heart
So don't lead me on

I won't be wasting precious days
Playing with life like it's a game
I've made my share of those mistakes
Time is an unforgiving friend
An adversary to the end
We can't do this over again

Let me remind you
I'm putting my life on the line
Yeah let me remind you
For you to live, I'm willing to die
And you have my heart
So don't lead me on
And you have my heart
So don't lead me on

Whoa oh, whoa oh
Whoa oh, whoa oh
Whoa oh, whoa oh
Whoa oh, whoa oh
