lyrics

i just wanna give up and say it's not worth it
and the worst is, knowing you gave me these scars
i could try all my tricks and be poetic,
and then regret it, cos i'll never get to where you are
cos dreaming with a hole for a heart won't get you far

go now and leave me all alone
what are you waiting for?
you act like you don't know what you're doing
i know now cos i've seen it all before
your broken promises carry much more weight than you've proven

i guess i made up hints and stolen glances
subtle advances were somehow magnified
i spend too long in my mind looking for answers
but what are the chances that i'll even make it out alive
cos without you i can't quite get it right

go now and leave me all alone
what are you waiting for?
you act like you don't know what you're doing
i know now cos i've seen it all before
your broken promises carry much more weight than you've proven

grow up and show me some backbone
what are you waiting for?
it's not like i don't know what you're doing
i know when you walk right through that door
every doubt i've had and every little fear will be disproven
