Take, a lonely heart before it breaks
And put it in your little box of unwashed hands and mistakes
Words, so necessary, but absurd
To tell you that I want to be with you tonight so bad it hurts
Whoa! Whoa!
This could be perfect but you won't let it play out
Whoa! Whoa!
And you just sit there with your folded arms in
Whoa! Whoa!
Forget about the past, it's gone
Wake, wake up while it's still yours to take
Before I get a better offer from someone who will stay
I, I don't believe in wasting time
And just before you know its gone, its gone for good, so don't cry
And it feels that today is like every other day
But I will forget about myself
Put this book back on the shelf, tonight
Whoa! Whoa!
This could be perfect but you won't let it play out
Whoa! Whoa!
And you just sit there with your folded arms in
Whoa! Whoa!
Forget about the past, it's gone
Whoa! Whoa!
This could be perfect but you won't let it play out
Whoa! Whoa!
And you just sit there with your folded arms in
Whoa! Whoa!
Forget about the past, it's gone
And you say that you've changed
But you're basically the same
But I, I can say that I tried
And move on with my life
So you can calm your worried mind
'Cause when I leave I wont be coming back this time
No, not this time.
