I never thought I'd see the day
I thought that I had finally moved along
And I had let you go so long ago, so long
This is not, this is not where I belong
So I wait for this shallow itch to pass
And I wait, yeah I wait
Hey hey, I'm ok
I don't need this anyway, I'm fine
What's yours and mine
Oh oh, I don't know
What I was ever hoping I would find
But it's time for me to leave this all behind
I don't regret a single thing
I couldn't say it didn't feel alright
But I don't want to stay and I don't want to fight
All alone, with my foolish appetite
So I wait for this shallow itch to pass
And I wait, yeah I wait
Hey hey, I'm ok
I don't need this anyway, I'm fine
What's yours and mine
Oh oh, I don't know
What I was ever hoping I would find
But it's time for me to leave this all behind
I don't have the heart to give away to you again
I don't have the stomach for it, no one ever wins
We had our fun but I have sung this song to you before
Here's my last refrain
