lyrics
I'm broken, and everyone knows it,
I've been running in circles, I think everyone sees them,
I need you, a little more than I want you,
And I want this, a little more than I needed it too,
And I, needed a little bit more of anything but you,
You said you're willing to dream, then get ready to suffer,
'Cuz I, I never saw the plus side in waiting,
I, need this now (This is it!)
CHORUS
I loved you to pieces,
But you're never gonna see me come back around.
And you said you're leaving if I need this,
But you never gave me chance to work it out.
(Woah-oh-oh-oh)
You never gave us a chance to work it out
(Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh)
And when it's broken, I don't wanna fix it now,
And when it's lacking, and I need it the conversation turns to bleeding out,
I can't breath with this, light on me, so I'm leaving here,
Why don't you think about it, take your hand out, save yourself.
You wanna leave but you dunno what you're gonna do,
You wanna go, but you don't know how to try,
And we just can't afford to pass the time away,
This is a million pointed star, when I needed you to help,
You just left me hanging.
I loved you to pieces,
But you're never gonna see me come back around.
And you said you're leaving if I need this,
But you never gave me chance to work it out.
(Woah-oh-oh-oh)
You never gave us a chance to work it out
(Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh)
You never gave us a chance to work it out
ACAPELLA
I loved you to pieces,
But you're never gonna see me come back around.
And you said you're leaving if I need this,
But you never gave me chance, can we work it out?
I need to work this out.
I loved you to pieces,
But you're never gonna see me come back around.
And you said you're leaving if I need this,
But you never gave me chance to work it out.
Fuck Yeah!
You never gave, never gave, never gave
Gave a chance to work it out.
