She said you oughta write it down
He said you might be unwell
She said to think about doing this
And then try not to dwell
She said not to worry
About all of life’s what ifs
He said to have another one
And then forget about that shit
They said that you don’t want it
Then they said that you do
They said don’t listen to us
And do what you want to do
They said you need to think
They said you need to act
They said you need to do this and that
In order to attract
She said I love you
He said what of it
She said you’ll miss me
He said that’s how you love it
He said you couldn’t do it
She said you couldn’t do it
They said you couldn’t do it
Well they all need
To save their quips
For someone who actually gives a shit
He said I’m leaving
She said could we be friends
They said we never saw them lasting
Better now they meet their end
She said this isn’t working
He said because I’m queued
She said nothing for a while
Then said I’m sorry but it’s true
They said you oughta leave
They said you oughta stay
They said you oughta wait it out
And distract yourself during the day
He said you gotta be yourself
She said you gotta see it’s true
They said just wait and be patient
‘Cuz one day it’s gonna happen for you
They said that they’re waiting
They said they’re anticipating
He said he was working on it
But wasn’t sure why it wasn’t happening
He said you wouldn’t do it
She said you wouldn’t do it
They said you wouldn’t do it
Well they all need
To save their quips
For someone who actually gives a shit
She said I’ve caught you now
He said I have nothing to hide
She said I’ll always love you
And then stood there and cried
She said I’m a terrible person
He said that isn’t true
She said I’m downright crazy
He said good thing I am too
He said she looked beautiful
She said he was lying
He said that he was
But you can’t blame a guy for trying
He said I love you
She said she had no reply
He said this isn’t working
While she begged for another try
They said it would come to this
They said you would never last
They said that all your dreams
Are childish delusions of the past
He said you shouldn’t do it
She said you shouldn’t do it
They said you shouldn’t do it
Well they all need
To save their quips
For someone who actually gives a shit
She said I have to tell you
That you truly are amazing
He said it means nothing now
Because I’m sick of waiting
He said that you’ve got to get
Inside their heads and stay
She said you need to give her time
To miss you a little each day
They said you need to get up
They said you need to stay down
They said you need to just play dead
And not listen to what they said
She said don’t fall in love with me
He said I’m afraid it’s too late
She said we should be friends
And in the meantime you can wait
He said I can no longer do this
She said is there anything I can do
He said you’ll never find a guy like me
She said I really hope that isn’t true
He said he couldn’t do it
She said she shouldn’t do it
They said the wouldn’t do it
Well they all need
To save their quips
For someone who actually gives a shit
She said listen, don’t listen to me
I’m only trying to help
She said we need to talk
He said I think we should break up
She said this isn’t over
He said it’s only just beginning
They said you need to cut your losses
‘Cuz neither of you are winning
He said I can still remember her
She said I can still remember him
They said we can still remember them
And it was so much better then
They said it was bound to happen
They said it was unforeseen
They said they said a lot of things
None of which they really mean
He said not to do it
She said she didn’t want to id
They said don’t ever think like that
And with them all, I agree
He said you couldn’t do it
She said you wouldn’t do it
They said you shouldn’t do it
Well they all need
To save their quips
For someone who actually gives a shit
And don’t come looking
For my input
You’ve all said so much already,
You clearly don’t need it
