Better That I Know Now

I've been putting off this conversation
Just hoping you'd start it first
I've been keeping my eyes closed when I'm with you
For better or for worse
Because it's easier than trying to let you go
It's easier but I know
That if deep down you want me gone
And you're sick of holding on
But you just can't seem to work out how
To stop saying things you don't mean
In a futile attempt to keep the peace
If what we have is heading straight for the ground
It's better that I know now
It's better that I know now

If I'm being honest
All I ever wanted
Was to be someone's favourite
You used to make me feel so special
But if you let me let you go now
Does that mean that you never meant any of it
Why can't it be easier trying to burn this bridge
Oh anything would be easier than this
But if deep down you want me gone
And you're sick of holding on
But you just can't seem to work out how
To stop saying things you don't mean
In a futile attempt to keep the peace
If what we have is heading straight for the ground
It's better that I know now

I want you
To want to
Fight to keep me
Say you're sorry
Tell me I've got it all wrong
But lately it feels like
You're trying to walk down your own path
And I'm just tagging along

If deep down you want me gone
If you're sick of holding on

If deep down you want me gone
And you're sick of holding on
But you just can't seem to work out how
To stop saying things you don't mean
In a futile attempt to keep the peace
If what we have is heading straight for the ground
It's better that I know now
It's better that I know now

I want you
To want to
Fight to keep me
Say you're sorry
Tell me I've got it all wrong
But maybe
The reason I haven't asked if you still want me
Is that I'm scared you don't
