Yo-Yo

I admit you're beautiful
i admit you're kind
but anyway you're as insecure as can be
and you also have no idea
what it's like to be me
whenever you say you understand
i know you never do
whenever i take one step
you just back up one or two
you're a chicken
that's what you are
you don't want to get hurt, you don't want to be in love
so you just back up
when you should be taking a step forward
but still
you don't want to lose me
not completely
you're just repeating
let go, hold on, let go, hold on, let go...
i'm your yo-yo
but have you ever thought about my feelings?
it's not like i'm made of steel
i sure can breath and i can feel
pain anger love and joy
i'm a human being just like you are

your yo-yo is slipping out of your hand
slipping
slipping slipping
slipping slipping slipping

oh won't you hold it tight
