The Cut

Oh, here we are
You're in the same shirt that I met you in
You probably didn't notice but I do
Your gaze is far
As I'm sitting in the passenger
As if it's just a normal afternoon

We pull over to an open spot
And I can tell that something's coming up

But right before you say it, just stop the words
Right before you tell me, just tell the floor
But I watch you as your mouth is opening, feel it coming
Roll it in slo-mo
I don't need you to make the cut
'Cause I know we're breaking up
I know we're breaking up

I try to call
Think two months would make a difference
You hope that we can be friends, and I'm fine
As if I'm not mourning every old text message
Tryna find the precise point you changed your mind

I'm dreading all the time I've spent rewinding
Wish that I could pause before the crying

So right before you say it, just stop the words
Right before you tell me, just tell the floor
But I watch you as your mouth is opening, feel it coming
Roll it in slo-mo
I don't need you to make the cut
'Cause I know we're breaking up
I know we're breaking up
I know we're breaking up
I know we're breaking, breaking, breaking

I know we're breaking up
The moment, watch the motion
Picture and the credits rolling
Two by two, I'll let it happen
At least I can't see your reaction
So go ahead and make the cut
'Cause the sooner that you break my heart
The sooner I'll get over us

You don't have to say it, I know the words
So right before you tell me, just tell the floor
But I watch you as your mouth is opening, feel it coming
Roll it in slo-mo
Go ahead, baby, make the cut
'Cause I know we're breaking up
I know we're breaking up, oh
