Backing Down Lyrics by Tina Mathieu

A Safer Place

2018

Too close, too soon
That's what they told me about you
But they don't know the time we keep
Too many reasons not to do this
I told you
As I rub your head back to sleep

I'm backing down
I'm backing down
And I won't come around anymore
While I'm backing down

How many times do I have to prove that I want you
Without you playing different cards
Cause it's not me who'll make the choice here, it's yours
If you like you can go with those better odds

I'm backing down
I'm backing down
And I won't come around anymore
While I'm backing down

No I won't come between you and your company
There's no room for me and my jealousy
Won't you let me back down
Take my hands behind my back
It's taking all the strength I have to leave you be

I'm backing down
I'm backing down
And I won't come around anymore
While I'm backing down
