Diminishing Returns

Written by Jerry White Jr.

I was never cleverer than you
And I never said sorry
Unless I had to
I know I should’ve made the bed
Done more dishes, but instead
I let you

Oh, the law of diminishing returns says
Call it quits

You were pretty patient and never kept score
But if you don’t think I’m still worth waiting for
I get it
I really do
I was never better than you
And I never said sorry
Unless you asked me to

Oh, the law of diminishing returns says
Oh, the law of diminishing returns says
Oh, the law of diminishing returns says
Call it quits

Did you say what you wanted to say?
(Did you say what you wanted to say?)
Did you do what you needed to do?
When I think about how we would get so upset
Then I know it’s too late
(Yeah I know it’s too late)
But I think about all of those things I regret
And then I hesitate

We were never together to prove
That forever is something you can’t lose
But don’t you think it’s funny how
We’ve been trying up till now
To see it through

But the law of diminishing returns says
Yes the law of diminishing returns says
Oh, the law of diminishing returns says
Call it quits

And if you do
(And if you do)
I wouldn’t blame you
(I wouldn’t blame you)
One bit
