[verse 1]
The love that I tasted time has erased it
And I'm stuck between now and then
Now what's left is memory
The poets say to let it be
But baby I still remember when
When every beat was so sweet now I tremble
The ground's breaking under my feet
I don't speak or it might crumble
[chorus 1]
So I've tried to be perfect
But I'll never know
If it's ever enough, ever enough for you
Because I'm only human
And I need forgiveness too
For everything I did and didn't do
Maybe I wasted my time with you baby
[verse 2]
I've held it together
With love songs and letters
but the pieces still fall apart
Now the colors are fading
And the lovers are hating
Baby, I don't know where to start
'Cause every beat was so sweet now I tremble
The ground's breaking under my feet
I don't speak or it might crumble
[bridge]
You say I make you mad as hell
But baby I can never tell
Maybe it's just as well
Forgive me for everything that I've said
Forgive me for all of those things that I've done
Baby, I'm on my knees
[chorus 2]
So I'll never be perfect
And we'll never know
If this could've been love, could've been love baby
Because we're only human
And forgiveness is hard to do
And we forget to forget it too
Maybe I wasted my time with you baby
[final]
Give me, give me a chance
Give me, give me
Give, give, give
Hey, hey, I've tried so hard
I've tried so hard, yeah
It's never good, never good enough
Never good enough
Maybe I wasted my time with you baby
Maybe I wasted my time with you baby
Maybe I wasted my time with you baby
