'Cause I'd rather Call it off Than wait for it to work Why bother? 'Cause I bet you're better off With some other hopeless jerk And I like you But what can I do? There's too much space To make you stay And there's a price to pay For doing what I do, but I can't stop I open up my heart like it's my job I tell myself it's over, but it's not I've got a running list Of all the times I tried to break my fall And all the times I wished that you would call And all the times I wished for you at all Why bother?
