You can't lie to yourself

After loving something true

And I've never loved a soul

Quite the way that I loved you

You told me you despise

Everything that I've become

How we always turn into

Everything we're running from

And I miss the way you followed

When you jaywalked in the street

How you always talked more trash

Than any boy bad mouthing me

And the way that the oak creaked

When you snuck up from my bed

The way that missing someone

Will have you seeing steady red

Take it slow as you leave me

Don't you go home this evening

With someone

That you're acting like is me

And I will try my hardest darling

Wait on a star that's falling

And I will wait so patiently

One thing I have quickly

Come to know

Nothing kills you slower than

Letting someone go

So take it slow as you leave me

Don't you go home this evening

With someone

You're acting like is me

And I will try my hardest darling

Wait on a star that's falling

And I will wait so desperately

One thing I have quickly

Come to know

Nothing kills you slower than

Letting someone go

You can't lie to yourself

After loving something true

And I've never loved a soul

Quite the way that I loved you

You told me you despise

Everything that I've become

How we always turn into

All the things we're running from

Take it slow as you leave me

Don't you go home this evening

With someone

That you're acting like is me

And I will try my hardest darling

Wait on a star that's falling

And I will wait so desperately

One thing I have quickly

Come to know

Nothing kills you slower than

Letting someone go
