[Verse 1]
This is the third night in a row I've stayed up way too late
Hoping this time it's different, some things just don't change
What if I leave, what if I don't?
What if you see when I'm already gone?
What if I'm all over your mind and you let me walk away?

[Chorus]
I can't believe I let you string me along like that
Making me wait on a you that we both know I'll never have
You can't take one step forward and sixteen back
Have my heart and treat it like that
You took your time
Now you can't have mine

[Verse 2]
Oh, the worst part of this is someone elsе is gonna line up right
Make it look so damn easy to hold you closе at night
But what about me, what about us?
What if I'm still in love?

[Chorus]
I can't believe I let you string me along like that
Making me wait on a you that we both know I'll never have
You can't take one step forward and sixteen back
Have my heart and treat it like that
You took your time
Now you can't have mine
[Verse 3]
Its your heart, your way, your time, your place
There was never any room for me
How dare you tell me not to leave?

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't believe I let you string me along like that
Making me wait on a you that we both know I'll never have
I'll never have, oh

[Chorus]
I can't believe I let you string me along like that
Making me wait on a you that we both know I'll never have
You can't take one step forward and sixteen back
Have my heart and treat it like that
You took your time
Now you can't have mine

[Outro]
It's your heart, your way
Now you can't have mine
Your time, your place
No, you can't have mine
