Take a lonely heart before it breaks
And put it in your little box of unwashed hands and mistakes
Words, so necessary, but absurd
To tell you that I want to be with you tonight
So bad it hurts
Whoa! Whoa!
It would be perfect but you won�t let it play out
Whoa! Whoa!
And you just sit there with your folded arms in
Whoa! Whoa!
Forget about the past, it�s gone
Wait, wake up while it�s still yours to take
Before I get a better offer from someone who will stay
I, I don�t believe in wasting time
Just before you know its gone its gone for good, so don�t cry
And it feels that today is like every other day
But I would forget about myself
Put this pick back on the shelf, tonight
Whoa! Whoa!
It would be perfect but you won�t let it play out
Whoa! Whoa!
And you just sit there with your folded arms in
Whoa! Whoa!
Forget about the past, it�s gone
Whoa! Whoa!
It would be perfect but you won�t let it play out
Whoa! Whoa!
And you just sit there with your folded arms in
Whoa! Whoa!
Forget about the past, it�s gone
And you say that you�ve changed
But you�re basically the same
But I, I can say that I�ve tried
And go on with my life
So you can calm your worried mind
�Cause when I leave I wont be coming back this time
No not this time.
