lyrics

Waiting for something that I swear will never come
It’s getting late, I’ll take this chance I have and run
Something about this keeps me planted where I am
It’s this place that I hate that defines who I am
Trapped in this mind of mine, resistant to your touch
Though I avoid it, I desire it too much
Speak softly the words I’d like to hear
To me it’s everything; to you it’s not so clear
Let’s make this easier on both of us
It’s not about me, and it’s not about the love
If you don’t trust yourself, then who do you trust
You tell me when enough is enough

Chorus

I need someone who is bound to understand
Somebody help me if you really think you can
I’m not about to give up on this old man
But I’m giving up on this old love
I’m giving up on this old love
My eyes are open I see anything I like
I disregard the things I hate if that’s all right
I don’t need no stress, I haven’t got the time
So I’m giving up on this old love
I’m giving up on this old love

So I’ll take a step back, and I’ll watch you walk away
If this is what you wanted that is all you had to say
Don’t you pretend like it’s not me and it’s you
Your words are clear, and I fear that I can hear right through
If this is something that you hate then let it go
I’ll be alright, just give me time, I’ll take it slow
Ain’t no use trying so hard to make you change
When I’m the only one who feels the same
Let’s make this easier on both of us
It’s not about me, and it’s not about the love
If you don’t trust yourself, then who do you trust
You tell me when enough is enough

Chorus

Did you think I put up some kind of show
Don’t you know I would never go so low
Don’t you worry ‘cause I’m about to go
But before I go – I’d like to know
Was it worth it, I’d like to know

This old love, I’m giving up on love
This old love, I’m giving up on love
This old love, I’m giving up on love
I’m giving up on us giving up on this old love

Waiting for something that I swear will never come
