I used to be a little bit shy
I kept my deepest feelings inside
Speaking up to you about my emotions has always been hard
But this just can't wait
Tonight I feel a little bit brave
So I won't let one more day pass without you explaining what we are

This is gonna sound kind of silly
But I couldn't help but notice
The last time you kissed me
You kept both eyes open
Baby, can you tell me what does that mean?
If you're looking all over your shoulder
Then you don't need to be with me
And I don't need to hold on

[Chorus]
Don't let me let me stop you
From doing what you wanna do
You don't wanna stick just me it's cool
Take no chance getting over you
No no don't let me let me stop you
If you wanna leave baby you can leave
Just don't pretend that you're into me
If it ain't true no, don't let me stop you

A lot of things I can take
Got a high threshold for pain
But let's get one thing straight, I'm not down to share you with anyone
If that's not what you're looking for
Nice knowing you, but there's the door
'Cause I know that I can find someone who'll give me what I want

This is gonna sound kind of silly
If you're looking over your shoulder
Then you don't need to be with me
And I don't need to hold on

[Chorus]

Even if I'm in the brokenhearted
I won't lie
I don't wanna hear goodbye
But either way I'll be alright

[Chorus: x2]

    General Comment:Andreas "Quiz" Romdhane and Josef Larossi co-wrote this. Among the other songs the Swedish production duo have credits for are "Up" for British girl group The Saturdays, "Ride It" for Geri Halliwell and a lot of Il Divo's material.

    General Comment:Best song on the new album without a doubt! Can't wait for this to be released on the radio. I checked the play count for this song on my iTunes and it's already at 42. The only downside is that this song reminds me of someone who left my life, but who i loved and still love very much

    General Comment:to me this song is about a guy who won't commit, but still wants to have u there for whatever (in my case it was a 2 year hook up). and you never have the courage to ask them to define your relationship or to ask them for more because you're too scared to "ruin" what u have (when in reality you have nothing). and then when u finally get the courage to tell them how u feel and what u want they still are not willing to committ, but still want to keep u around..

    but in this song she finally got the courage to move on and tells him "if thats not what your looking for, nice knowing u but there's the door" and that she'll "take no chance, i'll get over you"...

    at the same time shes honest and realizes that it wont be easy when she says "even if i end up broken hearted, i won't lie, i don't wanna hear goodbye, but either way i'll be alright".. thats exactly the attitude you need to have when breaking up with someone.. its gonna hurt, but i'll get through it.
