[Intro]
I gotta hand it to you lately
I’ve been wondering how to reach out to you, and
Well, I wanna be remembered before I reach forty

[Chorus]
So when you wait for me well I don’t want to make it goodbye
When you just left me out to dry and told me, "Leave it behind"
It ought've been you, well, I can’t read you
It ought've been truer, well, I won’t keep you
When you want to, well, I won’t fault you then
But I don’t mean to make it all for me

[Bridge]
Just hold on
You’re breaking off
To say

[Verse 1]
I gotta hand it to you, baby
I’ve been running just to get to you
I was hoping that you’d want to
Keep in mind that we’re not here for good
'Cause you could ask me like I was your brother
And if I’m honest, what’s the crime then?
I gave you all with my true self
And I didn’t see it didn’t see then
[Chorus]
So when you wait for me well I don’t want to make it goodbye
When you just left me out to dry and told me, "Leave it behind"
It ought've been you, well, I can’t read you
It ought've been truer, well, I won’t keep you
When you want to, well, I won’t fault you then
But I don’t mean to make it all for me

[Verse 2]
If you got something that you wanna say
Well I don’t mind if I’m just listening
If you got something that you want to give
Well, I don’t think I’ll hear the end of it
'Cause I don’t want to tell you how to live
But I don’t mind to have a standing here
Because I want to see how you will end
Up with your problems

[Chorus]
So when you wait for me well I don’t make it goodbye
When you just left me out to dry and told me, "Leave it behind"
It ought've been you, well, I can’t read you
It ought've been truer, well, I won’t keep you
When you want to, well, I won’t fault you then
But I don’t mean to make it all for me
