Everyone has someone that they'd wait for
That they'd cancel a first date for
At the drop of a pin
Just one "hey, how you been? "
Everyone's accepted someone's reasons
Knowing full well they don't mean 'em
Just to keep them around
No one's speaking about


When you know you're going backwards
and you're dancing there headfirst
You could stop it but you won't do
and you know that and that's worse
That you know you have the option
and you still choose getting hurt
You know you have the option
and you still choose getting hurt

Everyone has somеone that they're missing
That thеy constantly think bout kissing
In the grocery line
In the back in the dead of the night
Everyone's accepted second place if
It means they're kept in the races
If you've still got a shot
You'll put up with a hell of a lot


When you know that it was bullshit
but you don't care cause it works
You could call it but you won't do
and you know that and it's worse
That you know you have the option
and you still choose getting hurt
You know you have the option
and you still choose getting hurt

Oh close your eyes and picture them
Close your eyes and picture them
Picture what you'd say if they were them
And you were your best friend
Close your eyes and picture them

Oh you know you're going backwards
and you're dancing there headfirst
You could stop it but you won't do
and you know that and it's worse
That you know you have the option
and you still choose getting hurt
You know you have the option
and you still choose getting hurt
