lyrics

[Verse 1]
I want to give you up.
I want to let you go.
I want you to know.
I am giving up.

[Verse 2]
I want to walk away.
But leaving is too tough.
I’m not strong enough.
So please walk away from me.

[Chorus]
They say time…time heals every ache.
But it was time that let my heart decay.
I can’t wait…wait another day.
I can’t stay—but I, too, can’t walk away.

[Verse 3]
I want to see your face,
And feel no more,
Or even just ignore
My heart’s racing pace.

[Verse 4]
I want to hear your voice
And feel no more.
I want to lock the door;
This was not my choice.
Like it isn’t yours.

[Chorus]
They say time…time heals every ache.
But it was time that let my heart decay.
I won’t wait… wait for you to say
That you don’t love me…love me in that way.
I need to walk away.

[Bridge]
Run away.
Because I can’t stay; I can’t stay. I can’t stay.
Run away; I’ll run away,
But to my dismay, my heart won’t sway, though it decays.
It wants to stay.

[Chorus]
They say time…time heals every ache.
But it was time that let my heart decay.
I can’t wait…wait another day.
I can’t stay, but I too can't walk away.

[Outro]
I want to give you up.
I want to let you go.
I want you to know.
I am giving up.
