## Lyrics

**Album Version**

I don’t want to do this

I’m just doing what you asked

And I don’t want to go through with this

But I just want to what you said

And I know that it’s too late

And we’ve already said goodbye

And it’s crazy how fast the time can fly

But know that I don’t ever want to lose you

I had the time of my life with you

So I’ll lay awake in my bed

Regretting everything I should’ve said

And I’ll watch you find the one

Wishing I could be that someone

I really like you

But if you don’t feel the same, it’s ok

And I wish things were different

And right now you’d be in my arms

And I know that it’s too late

And we’ve already said goodbye

And it’s crazy how fast the time can fly

But know that I don’t ever want to lose you

I had the time of my life with you

So I’ll lay awake in my bed

Regretting everything I should’ve said

And I’ll watch you find the one

Wishing I could be that someone

And it’s ok that I’ll never see your face again

And that you won’t remember

Who I am

And I’m alright with hiding my feelings

Because it’s what you want

And I know that it’s too late

And we’ve already said goodbye

And it’s crazy how fast the time can fly

But know that I don’t ever want to lose you

I had the time of my life with you

So I’ll lay awake in my bed

Regretting everything I should’ve said

And I’ll watch you find the one

Wishing I could be that someone

Oh but I’m not

**Voice Memo Bonus Track**

Time of My Life is one of those songs that just, came to me immediately

And I knew exactly what I wanted to say

And I wrote it in a fairly short amount of time on my guitar

So, what you’re about to hear is me right after I wrote the song, kind of just playing it out

I had a pretty clear melody in my head and, it’s pretty similar to what you hear on the album

So, this is Time of My Life

I don’t want to do this

I’m just doing what you asked

And I don’t want to go through with this

But I just want to what you said

And I know that it’s too late

And we’ve already said goodbye

And it’s crazy how fast the time can fly

But know that I don’t ever want to lose you

I had the time of my life with you

So I’ll lay awake in my bed

Regretting everything I should’ve said

And I’ll watch you find the one

Wishing I could be that someone

I really like you

But if you don’t feel the same, it’s ok

And I wish things were different

And right now you’d be in my arms

And I know that it’s too late

And we’ve already said goodbye

And it’s crazy how fast the time can fly

But know that I don’t ever want to lose you

I had the time of my life with you

So I’ll lay awake in my bed

Regretting everything I should’ve said

And I’ll watch you find the one

Wishing I could be that someone

And it’s ok that I’ll never see your face again

And that you won’t remember

Who I am

And I’m alright with hiding my feelings

Because it’s what you want

And I know that it’s too late

And we’ve already said goodbye

And it’s crazy how fast the time can fly

But know that I don’t ever want to lose you

I had the time of my life with you

So I’ll lay awake in my bed

Regretting everything I should’ve said

And I’ll watch you find the one

Wishing I could be that someone

Oh but I’m not

Ooh, oh-oh-oh

Ooh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh but I’m not
