lyrics //
leaving town half a year
i didn’t think i wouldn’t hear
you even try to say goodbye
so as i head for the door
i hang back a couple more
in the hopes maybe you’ll stop by
and it hurts, it hurts, it hurts
cause you don’t know what i’m worth, i’m worth, i’m worth
but i just bite my tongue
and hold on for the one day
you wake up and realize
maybe all this wasn’t just fun
maybe for some of us life is more than time that flies
but you thought otherwise
half attempts to stay in touch
i didn’t think i was asking for much when i said
you should give me a call
but you’d only call late at night
and i wanted you in the broad daylight
and i was just about to fall
and it hurts, it hurts, it hurts
why can’t you see what i’m worth, i’m worth, i’m worth
but i just bite my tongue
cause i’m holding on for the one day
you wake up and realize
maybe all this wasn’t just fun
maybe for some of us life is more than time that flies
but you thought otherwise
i tell myself that this is just what people do
but i’m starting to think it’s just people like you
and it hurts, it hurts, it hurts
cause i don’t know what i’m worth
i shouldn’t bite my tongue
i can’t hold on for one day
just hoping you realize
cause for you this was all just fun
and i know until i’m done i’m never gonna be alive
but i wish it was otherwise
i’ll be back in the fall
maybe you’ll try to call
but i’ll have to apologize
say sorry for something i didn’t do
cause i’m really just sorry that people like you
feel the need to live a lie
but i wish it was otherwise.
