I knew it was over under the San Diego skies
Maybe I was naive for thinking you could be mine
Now I'm crying in the hotel bathroom
Waiting for you to come in
And tell me, fuck it, baby, I need you
But you never did
God knows I've tried
God knows I've tried with you
You're always on the edge of love and goodbye
Maybe like you said, it was never our time
But I didn't wanna leave you then
And I don't wanna leave you now
I didn't wanna leave you then
And I don't wanna leave you
I don't wanna leave you now
Ohh
I don't wanna leave you now
I opened my heart
Now I'm standing here with no protection
Holding on to the fragments of your affection
I'm never gonna make this work
I knew better but I had to risk it
You didn't mean to make it hurt
But you're a marathon that I'll never finish
God knows I've tried
God knows I've tried with you
You're always on the edge of love and goodbye
Maybe like you said, it was never our time
But I didn't wanna leave you then
And I don't wanna leave you now
I didn't wanna leave you then
And I don't wanna leave you
I don't wanna leave you now
I'm burnt out on second chances
I need pearls and picket fences
Why don't you choose me for once
Why don't I get to love
I didn't wanna leave you then
And I don't wanna lose you now
I didn't wanna leave you then
And I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna lose you now
