I just had to say the saddest thing
That I'll ever say
And you'll never know

What it's like to hold the sweetest thing
That you've ever seen
Then let it go

It's too late, I couldn't wait
For your love to come and save me
This way, you'll stay
And I'll never have to hate me

This year could've been the cure for you
And I watched you do
All those things I thought I watched you lose

And I'm not making any promises
You knew this when
I promised you you'd have to choose

It's too late, I couldn't wait
For your love to come and save me
This way, you'll stay
And I'll never have to hate me

I should've known, ‘cuz I heard about
The way you keep yourself pinned down
So go ahead and work it out
You're someone else's problem, now

It's too late, I couldn't wait
For your love to come and save me
This way, you'll stay
And I'll never have to hate me
