I'm taking the gift that you gave me And I'm not using it for what you had planned And I thought well later than maybe It could be better than where we stand You try to say that I don't know how to be happy But at least I'll be right here to try if you want Might be dumb, I get it But I'll clear out the way that you got Don't say, I didn't mind Would it kill you to be kind? 'Cause I don't wanna wait a thousand miles Yeah, I don't wanna wait a thousand lives Don't say, I didn't say you're right Will you try to change your mind? 'Cause I don't wanna wait a thousand miles Yeah, I don't wanna waste a thousand lives Turn back when you wanna quit Oh well I've just lost track With how many times I would spend On we lack To go back and forth once again I face back If you wanna stop, I'll pretend How do you take it? Well I could attain it but now It's all the same and I just wanna leave it behind I'd give a way then I'd go back to basics But you won't ever change then I got nothing to hide Don't say, I didn't mind Would it kill you to be kind? 'Cause I don't wanna wait a thousand miles Yeah, I don't wanna wait a thousand lives Don't say, I didn't say you're right Will you try to change your mind? 'Cause I don't wanna wait a thousand miles Yeah, I don't wanna waste a thousand lives You pride yourself in how cold you stayed But pride won't help you to regain Don't say, I didn't mind Would it kill you to be kind? 'Cause I don't wanna wait a thousand miles Yeah, I don't wanna wait a thousand lives Don't say, I didn't say you're right Will you try to change your mind? 'Cause I don't wanna wait a thousand miles Yeah, I don't wanna waste a thousand lives
