You tell me you need time…
And so I wait.
You tell me you have too much on your mind…
And so I take the hint.
You tell me it’s done…
I sit here alone and wonder what I did that was so wrong.

You tell me you’ve made a big mistake…
I take you back.

You start acting different again…
I try my best to make everything okay.
You tell me you need time…
And so I wait.
You tell me you have too much on your mind…
And so I take the hint.
You tell me it’s done…
I sit here and say to myself I did nothing wrong, you did.
