I gotta hand it to you lately
 I’ve been wondering how to reach out to you, and
 Well, I wanna be remembered before I reach forty
 So when you wait for me well I don’t want to make it goodbye
 When you just left me out to dry and told me, "Leave it behind"
 It ought've been you, well, I can’t read you
 It ought've been truer, well, I won’t keep you
 When you want to, well, I won’t fault you then
 But I don’t mean to make it all for me
 Just hold on
 You’re breaking off
 To say

 I gotta hand it to you, baby
 I’ve been running just to get to you
 I was hoping that you’d want to
 Keep in mind that we’re not here for good
 'Cause you could ask me like I was your brother
 And if I’m honest, what’s the crime then?
 I gave you all with my true self
 And I didn’t see it didn’t see then
 So when you wait for me well I don’t want to make it goodbye
 When you just left me out to dry and told me, "Leave it behind"
 It ought've been you, well, I can’t read you
 It ought've been truer, well, I won’t keep you
 When you want to, well, I won’t fault you then
 But I don’t mean to make it all for me
 If you got something that you wanna say
 Well I don’t mind if I’m just listening
 If you got something that you want to give
 Well, I don't think I’ll hear the end of it
 'Cause I don’t want to tell you how to live
 But I don’t mind to have a standing here
 Because I want to see how you will end up
 With your problems

 So when you wait for me well I don’t want to make it goodbye
 When you just left me out to dry and told me, "Leave it behind"
 It ought've been you, well, I can’t read you
 It ought've been truer, well, I won’t keep you
 When you want to, well, I won’t fault you then
 But I don’t mean to make it all for me
