Nowhere by Melodie Yvonne

If you can’t let me in then please just shut me out
I’ve been so close to givin’ up more times than I can count
I’m tired of wonderin’ what you’re thinkin’ every single day
And I’m not a boomerang that just comes back when thrown away

Please just let me in or please just let me go
Please don’t keep me runnin’ down the middle of the road
Please don’t keep me treadin’ in your sea of ifs and doubts
Either throw me out a lifeline or step back and let me drown

Take this leash from ‘round my neck and please just let me go
Let me just go back to bein’ someone you don’t know
Let me wander back away and meld into the crowd
If you’re never gonna miss me let me go and let me out

If you can’t let me in then please just shut the door
You gotta let me go if you can’t give a little more
‘Cause what you’re doin’ just ain’t right and I’m so insecure
Either please just walk away or pick my heart up off the floor

Please just let me in or please just let me out
I’ve been so close to givin’ up more times than I can count
Please don’t keep me treadin’ in your sea of ifs and doubts
Either throw me out a lifeline or step back and let me drown
