I Do and I Don't

We started off by talking about the tattoos on her back And the bands that we both hate Anything to make the moment last Hoping you might spend the night And watch our feelings collide It seems like summer's just a state of mind I'm gonna make sure we never fall apart But you're not trying hard enough So this can't last forever Do you Remember? Crashing parties just to get our drinks for free You would touch your skirt and tell me you had nothing on underneath But all these memories are burning me alive Knowing you and I might never get this right. (But we're gonna have to try) And if this promise was a fading dream. I'd suffocate myself to sleep For one more night in silence next to You I'm gonna make sure we never fall apart But you're not trying hard enough So this can't last forever I'll give my best shot, holding onto what we got I need to tell her that I'm ready Whether she's ready or not Ready or not, or not Well are you ready or not? (Well are you ready or not?) I'm ready... I'm ready... We've tried So hard That all walls we built up... Were fake Cause you're slipping away Like a car on ice We're spinning out of control Like an open wound We need some time to heal Like a cigarette Her pleasure's worth the risk Like a crowded room My presence won't be missed She don't care And it's not fair That I can't forget you Just knowing I've let you out of my life But I'm moving on... She's moving on Soon I'll be gone! I'll be a million miles away I need to see you Need to touch you Like we used to misbehave And if your picture's worth a thousand words I cut open my vocal cords For one more night of silence next to you Just to spend another night with you! We say all these words, we make all these promises But I need to know, can we really make this last?... forever? I'm gonna make sure we never fall apart But you're not trying hard enough So this can't last forever I'll give my best shot, holding onto what we got I need to tell her that I'm ready Whether she's ready or not Well are you ready or not?
