The Downcast - Precious Time

We would talk all night
Over a bottle of wine
Back when I thought I'd fine that your mind, it works just like mine
But then it all came down
And the truth came out
I really feel it now, we're in too deep for an easy let down

Now you blame me
For going back on things I said, but looking back I couldn't let you leave my bed
Now you blame me
For not being who you thought I'd be
But maybe that's just me

So wait
I'll take up all your precious time
When you need me I won't be there for you
Cause I'll get myself out just in time
Stay
I want to feel your warmth again
When I'm warm I'll hang you out to dry
And I'll waste the best years of your life

(Let us go)
You're painting pictures with the hopes of who we are
I've torn them down but we've still made it this far
(Give us up)
Run your fingers through my hair to void the truth
I could find a way that I don't deserve you

Now I blame you
For always telling me how I should feel
Convincing me it's always been real
Now I blame you
For not seeing every side of me
I'm not who you hoped I'd be

So wait
I'll take up all your precious time
When you need me I won't be there for you
Cause I'll get myself out just in time
Stay
I want to feel your warmth again
When I'm warm I'll hang you out to dry
And I'll waste the best years of your life

I'll say
This is the hardest thing I'll never have to do
Is giving in, giving up and getting over you

And I'll stay for now
But I know that if I go
My lungs would heal, your pain would fade
It's a better thought but not today

Wait
I'll take up all your precious time
When you need me I won't be there for you
Cause I'll get myself out just in time
Stay
I want to feel your warmth again
When I'm warm I'll hang you out to dry
And I'll waste the best years of your life
