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.

You tell me that you can't make up your mind

You've been riding fences all your life

So go ahead and build your own little boat

Won't you tell me if it floats

And if it don't, don't you cry to me

Tell me maybe I'd be better off on my own

Just wanna hear me tell you baby that you're wrong

So damned tired of all these constant contradictions

Baby getting your convictions

I can't make up your mind (oh no)

So why can't you just look me in the eye

The very least you owe me is goodbye

If you want a heartache

I'd give me a reason to run

If you want a love song

Give me a reason to write you one

You're talking of a love for heaven nothing is safe

Leaving you free in your little cage

Won't you give me just a little piece of truth

It's less about me and it's more about you

So why can't you just look me in the eye

The very least you owe me is goodbye

If you want a heartache

I'd give me a reason to run

If you want a love song

Give me a reason to write you one

So why can't you just look me in the eye

The very least you owe me is goodbye

If you want a heartache

I'd give me a reason to run

If you want a love song

I'd give me a reason to write you one

I'd give me a reason to write you one
