Whoever hurt you
Don't love like I do
I've kept my hand in the pot
for way too long till it falls off
What are you hiding?
The teeth I'm pulling?
I've kept my arms ajar
while you took the car to keep fighting

Push and pull like tug-of-war, when you
Leave, I know it's never long till you
Fall back on your face, why don't you just hold me?
I'm no psychic, what you thinking? But
I predict that you'll be leaving but
Don't learn here just to give her there, I worked for this

And you never wanted my love anyway
A detrimental game you play
I can't wait here forever
It's true, I probably could find better, but
I'm asking you to step it up
Don't hurt me like they did to you

What are your secrets?
Are they worth keeping?
Just let your guard disintegrate
tell me all the ways you're feeling
What are you fearing?
That I'll be leaving?
The more you stitch your lips
until nothing slips, I could see it

Push and pull, like tug-of-war, when you
Leave, it brings me to the edge of doom
Next time you fall on your knees, I won't heal you
I'm no psychic, I don't know if you'll
Fight for this, or fight for yourself
'Cause the next time I hear you yell at me, I am running

'Cause you never wanted my love anyway
A detrimental game you play
I won't wait here forever
It's true, I probably could find better
But I think I'm better off alone
I've dealt with ones just like you

If the fall of our memory comes to be true
Then I'll know I did everything I could do
To show you the depth of what love can pursue
Ooh-ooh-ooh

When you're out there, talking to someone new
Think of everything that I have given you
Maybe she can get some of that too
That's what my love can do
