[Verse 1]
I used to think that we've come too far to give up now
But now I see, that you're really not the one for me
I constantly, try to show my love, do everything
But now I think, if I voice my love how wrong could it be?

[Pre-Chorus]
I never knew it before, I always thought I'd be sure
I plan to be with, only you forever
But how can we just go on
Now that I know it's so wrong
We can't spend another day together

[Chorus]
You should go, I no longer feel like wasting time with you
Goodbye, 'cause I don't need you with me
It's time you know, that all the things we had that felt so good
Was wasted time, and it's all because of you

[Verse 2]
I was blind, couldn't see the writing on the wall
In my mind, you were the only one to be with me
I can't believe, that it took so long to figure out
The games you play, now the truth is clear, I have no doubt

[Pre-Chorus]
I never knew it before, I always thought I'd be sure
I plan to be with, only you forever
But how can we just go on
Now that I know it's so wrong
We can't spend another night together

[Chorus]
You should go, I no longer feel like wasting time with you
Goodbye, 'cause I don't need you with me
It's time you know, that all the things we had that felt so good
Was wasted time, and I won't waste my time on you no more
You should go, I no longer feel like wasting time with you
Goodbye, you, you can leave, you can leave
It's time you know, that all the things we had that felt so good
Was wasted time, and I never knew...

[Pre-Chorus]
I never knew it before, I always thought I'd be sure
I plan to be with, only you forever
But how can we just go on
Now that I know it's so wrong
We can't spend another night together

[Chorus]
You should go, I no longer feel like wasting time with you
Goodbye, you gotta go, oh, you gotta go
It's time you know, that all the things we had that felt so good
Was wasted time, everything I tried to do but it didn't work

You should go, I no longer feel like wasting time with you
Goodbye, I don't feel it, baby; I don't feel it girl
It's time you know, that all the things we had that felt so good
Was wasted time, wasted my time
