lyrics

You gave a little bit, I gave a lot
You gave a little bit, I gave a lot
I gave a lot, I gave a lot, then you put me on the spot
I gave a lot, I gave a lot, then you said you couldn’t talk

What did it matter throwing this love away?
What did it matter throwing me away?

I think its best for me to go a little sooner than I expected
I think its best for me to go a little sooner than I expected
What does it matter throwing me away?
What does it matter throwing me away?
Throw me away

You gave a little bit, I gave a lot
You gave a little bit, I gave a lot
I gave a lot, I gave a lot, then you put me on the spot
I gave a lot, I gave a lot, then you said you couldn’t talk

What did it matter throwing this love away?
What did it matter throwing me away?

I think its best for me to go a little sooner than I expected
I think its best for me to go a little sooner than I expected
What does it matter throwing me away?
What does it matter throwing me away?
Throw me away

My trust can’t keep lingering on, lingering on
My trust can’t keep lingering on, lingering on
My trust can’t keep lingering on, lingering on
My trust can’t keep lingering on, lingering on

I think its best for me to go a little sooner than I expected
I think its best for me to go a little sooner than I expected
What does it matter throwing me away?
What does it matter throwing me away?
Throw me away
