The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh
I can't see your face now
If I let you go
Will you come back another time?
So I can look forward
Oh
We're never done
Are we babe?
So
You say that I'm never fooled by
The depth of your eyes
I don't agree but I see
I'm not what you want babe
Well we
Waste our time
On things we want
Why can't I have you, baby?
Why can't I get you, baby?
Waste our love on things that will never give it back
Why can't I have you, baby?
Why can't I get you, baby?
So
You need help?
Well I've got you covered
I'm here when you need a sunny day
Something good
Cause I never had that
Don't bend your rules
If you don't want to
But I think you do
So I sit back and let things go how you play them
Well we
Waste our time
On things we want
Why can't I have you, baby?
Why can't I get you, baby?
Waste our love on things that won't ever give it back
Why can't I have you, baby?
Oh
Why can't I get you, baby?
Oh
