Take my lonely heart before it breaks
And put it in your little box of unwashed hands and mistakes
Words, so necessary, but absurd
To tell you that I want to be with you tonight
So bad it hurts

Whoa! Whoa!
It would be perfect but you won't let it play out
Whoa! Whoa!
And you just sit there with your folded arms and closed mouth
Whoa! Whoa!
Forget about the past, it's gone

Wait, wake up while it's still yours to take
Before I get a better offer from someone who will stay
I, I don't believe in wasting time
Just before you know its gone its gone for good, so don't cry

And it feels that today is like every other day
But I would forget about myself
Put this book back on the shelf, tonight

Whoa! Whoa!
It would be perfect but you won't let it play out
Whoa! Whoa!
And you just sit there with your folded arms and closed mouth
Whoa! Whoa!
Forget about the past, it's gone
Whoa! Whoa!
It would be perfect but you won't let it play out
Whoa! Whoa!
And you just sit there with your folded arms and closed mouth
Whoa! Whoa!
Forget about the past, it's gone

And you say that you've changed
But you're basically the same
But I, I can say that I've tried
And go on with my life

So you can calm your worried mind
'Cause when I leave I won't be coming back this time
No not this time
