[Verse 1]
"Give me some time", I told you
Means nothing to me now
I don't know why I thought you
Would ever come around
Out beyond the tracks
A moment's hesitation
How could I not see?
I was only 17

[Chorus]
Can we cut the back and forth?
It doesn't matter anymore
A gift for what it's worth
Alone, a single solemn rose
Before you go
Know I don't love you anymore
Be careful what you wish for

[Verse 2]
When I give you a chance you use it
Yeah, you make things clear
You beat it and abuse it
I can tell that you don’t care
Desperate with fear
Gripping tight to fantasy
I hate it when you're here
Sitting next to me
[Chorus]
Can we cut the back and forth?
It doesn't matter anymore
A gift for what it's worth
Alone, a single solemn rose
Before you go
Know I don't love you anymore
Be careful what you wish for

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Can we cut the back and forth?
It doesn't matter anymore
A gift for what it's worth
Alone, a single solemn rose
Before you go
Know I don't love you anymore
Be careful what you wish for

[Outro]
Just like me
Just a waste of time
And I think you knew
But I'll be fine
Just like you
