Sometimes I give up
Sometimes I go cold
Then in a hot minute
I'll let it all go
This time it's gonna be different
This time I'm coming home
I've waited so long for something that I'll never know
Maybe then you'll admit it
You're missing out on the whole show
By the time you get into it, it'll be time to go
I wish that things had been different
I wouldn't have spent this time
Dreaming of a better life that'd never be mine
Daytime has come and gone
Still ain't feeling right
I'm drowning in a shadow
And melting in the light
Maybe you'll forget it
The story's getting old
And you ain't got no time to worry about my soul
Maybe now you'll get it
Why I chose to leave
See, I ain't got no poker face
And my heart is on my sleeve
By the time I jump in
The river will run dry
I'll do it anyway to say I tried
And maybe you'll regret it
For missing out on my life
By the time you call my name
I'll be riding high
Backed into a corner
See my crooked smile
I've been waiting for this moment
For more than a little while
In another hot minute
I hate to cramp your style
But I'm taking this shot to break your heart
We'll echo in the sky
By the time I jump in
The river will run dry
I'll do it anyway to say I tried
And maybe then you'll get it
Why I gave up my life
By the time you hear this song
I'll be long gone
Maybe you'll regret it
For the rest of your life
By the time you hear this song
I'll be long gone
Long gone
