verse 1 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 Solo (2x) _ 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 | | Arpeggio 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
