Lizzy grapples with the fate of her failing relationship. While she understands if her partner wants to leave, Lizzy uses this song as a final attempt to give her relationship purpose.
[Verse 1]
Given the circumstances
I won't ask you to stay
Given the circumstances
I would get it if you walked away
[Pre-Chorus]
But all my life, I've been looking for this
It seems fitting that things go to hell now that I've found it
[Chorus]
I don't think we're wasting time, but if you do, I'm sorry
I can see a life with you, but if you can't, I'm sorry
If four months mean nothing
If none of it counts for something, then I'm sorry
Oh, if spending every night in your bed
Has no meaning, then what are we?
Just a sorry excuse for love?
Love
[Verse 2]
Lately, the world is ending
So I won't ask for too much
Lately, the world is ending
And I find that I pretend to be okay with too much
[Pre-Chorus]
But all my life, I've been looking for this
Real funny that things go to hell now that I found it
[Chorus]
I don't think we're wasting time, but if you do, I'm sorry
I can see a life with you, but if you can't, I'm sorry
If four months mean nothing
If none of it counts for something, then I'm sorry
Oh, if spending every night in your bed
Has no meaning, then what are we?
Just a sorry excuse for love?
Love
A sorry excuse for love
