Last night for the first time of my life
Everything was perfect,
But tonight I wonder was this right,
I wonder was this worth it,
This is me outside your window, standing in the rain,
Can we please just talk this over,
Cause I can't feel like this again
If this is love then I don't wanna know pain,
It's 3:54 so why am I still awake,
I'll be in the back at a table in the dark, a table For one please,
Tonight it's just me,
Tonight it's just me,
Why try, when you know this isn't right,
Start believing that I,
I could never lie, so don't you try to make me,
You go through hell before you're happy,
Now my god is burning, we could never start things over,
Things will never be the same
If this is love then I don't wanna know pain,
It's 3:54 so why am I still awake,
I'll be in the back at a table in the dark, a table For one please,
Tonight it's just me,
Sun rose January morning,
And the mountains started burning,
Here's my heart in lieu of flowers,
Wear it like a badge of honor
Tell me what you want me to do,
Tell me what you want me to do,
Tell me what you want me to do,
Just tell me what you want me to do
You know I can't stand here with you,
Tell me what you want me to do,
Cause my clothes still smell of your perfume,
This feels like a shot onto my chest,
Let's get this over with,
I'm running out of breath,
Tell me what you want me to do
