lyrics

It’s been six months since I promised you I’d stay
I figured I would leave this place when I was older anyway
But you just sped things up for me,
And I blame your lies and the person you became
I’m sorry that I let you treat me this way

I’ve been trying to pretend
That the two of us make sense
But it’s all in my head
And I think
That I could do better than this
So when you tell me it’s over
I’ll be happy to move on
I’ll leave this place cause I’m sick of these four walls
That you built when you thought we were stronger

I wear you like an anchor around my neck
You’re pulling me down, you’re sinking me like a ship
That’s your life, it’s all you have and you’re throwing it away
Right now I see straight through your lies
There’s nothing here for me

I’ve been trying to pretend
That the two of us make sense
But it’s all in my head
And I think
That I could do better than this
So when you tell me it’s over
I’ll be happy to move on
I’ll leave this place cause I’m sick of these four walls
That you built when you thought we were stronger

You said you needed some space
Said it wasn't the right time or the place
Hit me like a slap across the face
I guess we were running at a different pace

You said you needed some space
Said it wasn't the right time or the place
Hit me like a slap across the face
I guess we were running at a different pace
