This thing that I'm saying
Is it better than keeping my mouth shut
That goes without saying

Maybe I would've been something you'd be good at
Maybe you would've been something I'd be good at
But now we'll never know
(Now we'll never)
I won't be sad but in case I go there every day to make myself feel bad
(Every day)
There's a chance that I'll start to wonder if this was the thing to do
(Start to wonder)
I won't be out long
But I still think it better if you take your time coming over here
I think that's for the best
