Your asleep and I cant fall asleep.
I wait up, would you want to stay for anything?
You feel let down,
I don't know why, you wait,
Oh I would take this time.
So please just leave,
You don't mean that much to me.
Well I don't believe in anything.
If you could be, I wouldn't wait forever,
Don't say anything.
Like you waste your time.
I'll waste mine.
It doesn't get better but I hope, that you will feel this way.
Nothing's changed cause you're gone.
Your asleep and I cant fall asleep.
I wait up, would you want to stay for anything?
So please just leave,
You don't mean that much to me.
Don't say anything.
Like you waste your time.
I'll waste mine.
It doesn't get better but I hope that you will feel this way.
Nothing's changed cause you're, you're gone.
Go ahead Sam, Go ahead Sam!
You saved me,
When I don't need to.
You're breaking down now that,
I would wait, its one more day,
It's the worst of time, I know, the worst of time.
Cause I, I know, these days are better off alone.
You said it, you feel its been a long time.
And it doesn't get better but I hope,
You change it, you feel its been a long time,
Cause you're gone, you're gone, you're gone…
