[Verse 1]
I think it's time we talk, say everything
I know a secret that your eyes won't keep
That you're the author of a tragedy
So tell me how it ends
You have a stubborn heart I can't persuade
I'll say three words you won't reciprocate
I know you want to, I know you used to
But you just don't love me
[Chorus 1]
And I won't let you waste everything you are on me
I know that all you love about me is who I used to be
[Verse 2]
And made of hostage hearts and patchwork love
Seems unavoidable, it came undone
I'm sorry all of me was not enough
I know it never was
I know you blame yourself for the pain I feel
It has to hurt before it starts to heal
I won't forget you, I won't regret
Through the pain the years I gave to you
[Chorus 2]
And I won't let you waste everything you are on me
With every night you spend sleeping with our memories
'Cause it's like spring to winter, your heart has changed
And nothing feels the same
And I won't let you waste everything you are on me
[Bridge]
All I ask, my one request is
Don't forget me, don't regret me
(Tearful, I let go)
All I ask, my one request is
Don't forget me
(Tearful, I let go)
Don't regret me
[Chorus 3]
And I won't let you waste everything you are on me
Your beating heart's been sinking into apathy
'Cause it's like spring to winter, your heart has changed
And nothing feels the same
And I won't let you waste everything you are on me
And I won't let you waste everything you are on me
