Absolutely Zero

Mraz sums it up...

You. You were a friend. You were a friend of mine I let you spend the night

You see it was my fault. Of course it was mine.

I'm too hard at work. Have you ever heard of anything so absurd ever in your life.

I'm sorry for wasting your time.

Who am I to say that this situation isn't great? It's my job to make the most of it

How could I have ever known that it would happen to me. Not that easy.

Hey what's that you say? You're not blaming me for anything that's great

But I don't break that easy does it fade away?

So that's why I'm apologizing now for telling you I thought that we could make it

I just don't get enough to believe that we've both changed.

Who am I to say this situation isn't great? Well it's my time to make the most of it

How could I ever know that it would happen to me, not that easy, no

All along the fault is up for grabs why can't you have it

Well it's for sale go make your offer, I'll sell it for no less than what I bought it for

Pay no more than absolutely zero

Well neither one of us deserves the blame

Because opportunities moved us away

And it's not an easy thing to learn to play

Oh a game that's made for two that's you and me

The rules remain a mystery. It's hardly easy.

Who am I to say this situation isn't great? It's our time to make the most of it

How could we ever know that this would happen so freely, not that easy, no

When all along the fault is up for grabs and there you have it

Well it's for sale go make your offer, I will sell it for no less than what I bought it for

Pay no more than absolutely zero.
