If I kept a list of every single second that I've lived There's no way in the world That my list would line up with yours If I saw your top ten seconds I wouldn't make an honorable mention But if you need a temporary love I'd be number one And you'd lead me on Make me need you Waste my time I'll run the race, but I'll never reach the finish line Seconds are a bit specific But even if the list was minutes There's no doubt in my mind That yours would not compare to mine I know that you'll end it all And make our seconds expendable But don't you dare take my hand I'll write this list again And you'd lead me on Make me need you Waste my time I'll run the race, but I'll never reach the finish line Lead me on Tell me how much you like me Take my life I'll do my best, but there's no way that I'll win this fight Love me like you mean it For the short time that we spend And when you leave, do it quietly So I don't think that it's the end We were never special I was not too blind for that You know passion doesn't make up For the sympathy you lack And you'd lead me on Make me need you Waste my time I'll run the race, but I'll never reach the finish line Lead me on Tell me how much you like me Take my life I'll do my best, but there's no way that I'll win this fight Lead me on Make me need you Waste my time (Waste my time) I'll run the race, but I'll never reach the finish line
