I give up on you
the clock is ticking slow
I tried too many times
now your love
I'll never know..

because when you decide
it's time you should care,
is when you'll gasp
that regretful air,
you'll turn to see
that I won't be there,
thats when life for you
won't seem fair.

I stuck around
through all the pain,
I suffer still
I'm not the same.

All I wanted
you can guess,
but I got this pain instead
that burns deep in my chest,
this hole in my heart
this shame that won't rest.
Even if you decide
like I've said,
by then it's too late
our love will have died.
