so...
you think you wanna be closer
youre thinkin you wanna know
youre thinkin you've got a bead on me
you think youve something to show
you think i have a big secret
youre thinkin you could get through
THE TRUTH IS:
for as long as a song goes?
i mean that much to you.
so...
youre curious how it feels here?
you wanna get close and see?
you wanna claim your 15 minutes?
(weve narrowed that down to 3...)
you think i have a big secret
youre thinkin you could get through
THE TRUTH IS:
for as long as this song goes...
i mean that much to you.
you wanna know my big secret?
you want me to let you in?
youre begging for the ending
of something you wont begin.
and youre way out on a limb here
and you dont even know.
youre putting words in my mouth now
and you dont even know.
for years i tried to gain your favor
and it all was lost on you
i dont know a thing about you,
SO I DONT PRETEND I DO.
but now that fate has turned the tables
(as we know that fate will do)
youre waving in my face an answer
that theres not a question to.
some say "too little too late"
but what i say is:
"it's time to say goodbye."
