Out of Time
Lyrics
I've never felt so sober
I've never felt the low that I feel tonight
Your words made everything drag on and on
I finally found her
And when I did, I just couldn't make things right
Is this really happening?
Oh, God, I think I just ruined my life
What the fuck am I doing?
I can't tell the difference from wrong and right
I second-guess my decisions
'Cause I haven't been this person in my whole life
I think I need something new here
When I keep longing for what I had
No need for second opinions
I do the best I can to ruin what I have, come on
Don't think you gotta go it alone here
I've got nothin' left to hide
You got time, just make up your mind
I thought this was what you wanted
Someone who gets everything right (gets everything right)
I thought this was what you wanted
Someone to put you first in their life
'Cause we're runnin' out of time
Let's have three cheers for the new year (hey, hey, hey)
Here's to hoping it's not as bad
This wasn't part of my vision
The optimist in me says we can make this last, but no
You ruined my favorite records
Listen to them and I think of you
I just hope you remember
All of the countless times that I believed in you, for what
Don't think you gotta go it alone here
I've got nothin' left to hide
You got time, just make up your mind
I thought this was what you wanted
Someone who gets everything right (gets everything right)
I thought this was what you wanted
Someone to put you first in their life
'Cause we're runnin' out of time
Just know that it kills me
When I hear anything to do with you
You won't see it, but believe me
I need to be right where you are
You know that I'm leaving (I'm leaving)
And you won't hear 'til a year from now
But this kills me (this kills me)
'Cause now I think that everything's
Everything's about you
I thought this was what you wanted
Someone who gets everything right (gets everything right)
I thought this was what you wanted
Someone to put you first in their life
'Cause we're runnin' out of time
Don't think you gotta go it alone here
I've got nothin' left to hide
You got time, just make up your mind
