[Verse 1]
I loved a boy, he hated me
We barely speak, he doesn't see like I do
But it's better anyway
I gave my all, he hated that
Took him a while to text me back, what did I do?
But it's better anyway

[Chorus]
But why can't you give me the time, give me the time
Give me the time I need?
But why can't you give me the time, give me the time
Give me thе time I need?

[Verse 2]
I loved a boy, he knеw me well
First he was great, could never tell
We'd be through, in a month or two
I took a chance, we weren't the same
What'd you expect? He ran away
They all do, saying, "It's me, not you"

[Chorus]
But why can't you give me the time, give me the time
Give me the time I need?
But why can't you give me the time, give me the time
Give me the time I need?
[Bridge]
Because it's easy to say, "It wasn't right"
Can you admit that you wasted my time?

[Chorus]
But why can't you give me the time, give me the time
Give me the time I need?

[Outro]
I loved a boy, he was the one
Thought we would last forever, but now we're done
