I Don't Want to but I Need To
You can tell me it's over
You can tell me it's not
But if it's both, don't play
If it's done I'll move on
Baby I'm already gone
But if you're here, I'll stay
I'm learning to fall asleep without you
The loneliness is fading away
Embracing the reasons why I doubt you
It's getting better everyday
So why, just when it gets easier, you come back around?
And all of my progress goes crumbling to the ground
'Cause boy, you've got a hold on me that you didn't know you had
But if you were to let go of me, it wouldn't hurt this bad
Need to get over you but I don't want to
You tell me I'm beautiful
Then nothing at all
Just show me how you feel
I'll be fine without you
I'll be fine alone
Unless this could be real
You're not who I thought you were
But I still pretend that you are
'Cause it's just so much easier
To ignore
So why, just when I get stronger you come back for more?
And I start to realize that we've been here before
'Cause boy, it's only the endings that justify the means
And even our nightmares are still considered dreams
Need to get over you but I don't want to
Ooh baby this is not like before
One foot out the door, but my heart is with you
Ooh baby I am not like the rest
I wish you the best, but the best is with me
Ooh baby this is not like before
One foot out the door, but my heart is with you
Ooh baby I am not like the rest
I wish you the best, but the best is with me
So why, just when I get better, you come back for more?
And all that I've worked for just works against me now
I deleted your number, I'm moving away
I could never think of the right things to say
I'm moving on
'Cause I know I need to
You can tell me it's not
But if it's both, don't play
If it's done I'll move on
Baby I'm already gone
But if you're here, I'll stay
I'm learning to fall asleep without you
The loneliness is fading away
Embracing the reasons why I doubt you
It's getting better everyday
So why, just when it gets easier, you come back around?
And all of my progress goes crumbling to the ground
'Cause boy, you've got a hold on me that you didn't know you had
But if you were to let go of me, it wouldn't hurt this bad
Need to get over you but I don't want to
You tell me I'm beautiful
Then nothing at all
Just show me how you feel
I'll be fine without you
I'll be fine alone
Unless this could be real
You're not who I thought you were
But I still pretend that you are
'Cause it's just so much easier
To ignore
So why, just when I get stronger you come back for more?
And I start to realize that we've been here before
'Cause boy, it's only the endings that justify the means
And even our nightmares are still considered dreams
Need to get over you but I don't want to
Ooh baby this is not like before
One foot out the door, but my heart is with you
Ooh baby I am not like the rest
I wish you the best, but the best is with me
Ooh baby this is not like before
One foot out the door, but my heart is with you
Ooh baby I am not like the rest
I wish you the best, but the best is with me
So why, just when I get better, you come back for more?
And all that I've worked for just works against me now
I deleted your number, I'm moving away
I could never think of the right things to say
I'm moving on
'Cause I know I need to
