I Used to think that we've come too far to give up now
Now I see that you're really not the one for me
I constantly try to show my love,do everything
But now I think if I voice my love how wrong could it be
I never knew it before, I always thought I'd be sure
I plan to be with only you forever
But how can we just go on
Now that I know it's so wrong
We can't spend another day together
You should go, I no longer feel like wasting time
With you, goodbye, cause I don't need you with me
It's time you know, that all the things we had that felt so good
Were wasted time, and it's all because of you
I was blind, couldn't see the writing on the wall
In my mind, you were the only one to be with me
I can't believe, that it took so long to figure out
The games you play, now the truth is clear I have no doubt
I never knew it before, I always thought I was sure
I plan to be with only you forever
But how can we just go on
Now that I know it's so wrong
We can't spend another night together
You should go, I no longer feel like wasting time
With you, goodbye cause I don't need you in my life
It's time you know, that all the things we had that felt so good
Were wasted time, and I won't waste my time with you no more
You should go, I don't wanna feel like wasting time
With you, goodbye, you can leave, you can leave
It's time you know, that all the things we had that felt so good
Were wasted time, and I never knew
I never knew it before, I always thought I was sure
I plan to be with only you forever
But how can we just go on
Not when I know it's so wrong
We can't spend another night together
You should go, I no longer feel like wasting time
With you, goodbye
It's time you know, that all the things we had that felt so good
Were wasted time
Everything I tried to do, but it did not work
You should go, I no longer feel like wasting time
With you, goodbye
It's time you know, that all the things we had that felt so good
Were wasted time
