I?ve always had one foot out the door
I don?t wanna play this game no more
I don?t wanna let you down
I don?t wanna see you drown
I?ve always had one hand on your heart
The other one pulling us apart
I don?t wanna let you go
Why do you wait for me
And let me hurt you
Why can?t I set you free to someone
Who deserves you
Don?t tell me that you?re fine
Don?t say it?s worth it
I might spend my whole life
In search of something perfect
verse 2
Give me all your love, give me all your time
And I?ll show you how to carefully throw it away for sure
?Till there?s no more
You?ll never get it back no no no no no no
Please don?t ask me how I say nice things
When I know right now what the future brings
I know damn well that this ain?t my dream
But somehow I still don?t know what it means
Sitting in the car trying to tell you that you?re wrong
Tell you that you?re crazy but you knew it all along
I put that on, I never meant to try and put you on
How did you stay here so long
Why do you wait for me
And let me hurt you
Why can?t I set you free to someone
Who deserves you
Don?t tell me that you?re fine
Don?t say it?s worth it
I might spend my whole life
In search of something perfect
verse 3
It ain?t crazy that I want you
But it?s crazy that I got you
Even crazier I take for granted everything
I used to worship
Now it?s obvious my dreams are yelling out to me
And I paid a couple shrinks to spell it out for me
There?s no way for this to go without a casualty
I just can?t imagine me ever having apathy for you
Tell me what else I need to know
I got your unconditional
Devoted affection and
I ain?t learned my lesson yet
This is the thick of it, why can?t I just admit
I might be sick of it, girl there?s no trick to this
Never be late again, you?ll never wait again
As long as I?m not your friend, why can?t I just leave you alone _
Why do you wait for me
And let me hurt you
Why can?t I set you free to someone
Who deserves you
Don?t tell me that you?re fine
Don?t say it?s worth it
I might spend my whole life
In search of something perfect
Why do you wait for me
And let me hurt you
Why can?t I set you free to someone
Who deserves you
Don?t tell me that you?re fine
Don?t say it?s worth it
I might spend my whole life
In search of something perfect
Outro
Why do you wait for me
And let me hurt you
Why can?t I set you free to someone
Who deserves you
Don?t tell me that you?re fine
Don?t say it?s worth it
I might spend my whole life
In search of something perfect
