I should have known It seemed too easy You were there And I was breathing blue Strange Don't you think I'm looking older? But something good has happened to me Change is a stranger You have yet to know Well you're out of time I'm letting go You'll be fine Well that much I know You're out of time I'm letting go I'm not the man you want I should have known It seemed so easy You were there I thought I needed you Strange Don't you think I'm looking older? But something good has happened to me Change is a strange Who never seems to show Well you're out of time I'm letting go You'll be fine (or maybe you won't) You're out of time I'm letting go I'm not the man that you want I never should hove looked back in your direction I know that Just the same old fights again, baby These are wasted days without affection I'm not that foolish anymore
