We barely speak, he doesn't see like I do
But it's better anyway

I gave my all, he hated that

Took him a while to text me back, what did I do?

But it's better anyway
[Chorus]

But why can't you give me the time, give me the time

Give me the time I need?

But why can't you give me the time, give me the time
E
Give me the time I need?
[Verse 2]

I loved a boy, he knew me well
First he was great, could never tell

We'd be through, in a month or two

I took a chance, we weren't the same

What'd you expect? He ran away
A E
They all do, saying, "It's me, not you"
[Chorus]

But why can't you give me the time, give me the time

Give me the time I need?

Give me the time I need?

Can you admit that you wasted my time?.......

Give me the time I need?

Thought we would last forever, but now we're done
