Oh, I know that life is hard enough for you to live
(Without me)
You deserve to get all the things that you give
(To me)
You see, I'm tryin' to figure out what I need
I'm tired of makin' your heart bleed
Let's face it, some people just aren't cut out for this
I've never felt a love deeper
But this mountain just it gets steeper
You know what I can't give, but I can commit to this

[Chorus]
When 2000 comes, I'll be ready then for you
I'll be ready for the sweet love you had in mind
When 2000 comes, I'll be waiting here for you
I'll be waiting with a sky full of space and time for you
I'm an ordinary girl with a screwed up mind
(You know the kind)
Condescending words aren't my way
I'm just trying to find an answer for you
You see, somebody else is going to love you
You see that I only need you
There's somethin' twisted here that's stranger than fate
They say the world will get better
Without you, hey, what would it matter?
I don't need to hear no new age crap about love
[Chorus]
Before I walk away, can you really say you're gonna miss me?
I'm gonna miss you
It's time to face the fact that we're better off for now
Just let go
[Chorus x2]
You see, somebody else is going to love you
You see that I only need you
There's somethin' twisted here that's stranger than fate
They say the world will get better
Without you, hey, what would it matter?
I don't need to hear no new age crap about love
[Chorus x 6]
