lyrics

you talk a lotta good talk
your words can keep me on lock
you repeat what i want and you promise me that
so i stay holding on while i wait for the action

but honey, now my dreaming is big and my knuckles are white
i’ve figured out maybe i shouldn’t give any more time

i am the writer
i am inventing the person i think you could be
i’m the igniter
looking back, i think the magic all along was me
cause i can’t help but look for the best in you
but i can’t be in love with the things i just hope you do

i’m not the type to give up
i find the shine in the rough
but it gets to a point, baby, none of it’s fair
when i’ve made you a person that’s not even there

and honey, now my dreaming is big and the fit is all wrong
i’ve figured out maybe i’ve been putting off what i want

i am the writer
i am inventing the person i think you could be
i’m the igniter
looking back, i think the magic all along was me
cause i can’t help but look for the best in you
but i can’t be in love with the things i just hope you do

i can’t be in love with potential
i can’t say it’s all circumstantial
some problems don’t go away
some people just never change

i can’t be in love with potential
i can’t say it’s all circumstantial
maybe it’s best i go away
it’s your choice if you wanna change

i am the writer
i’ve been inventing the person i think you should be
i’m the igniter
looking back, i think the magic all along was me
no i can’t help but look for the best in you
but i can’t be in love with the things i just hope you do
