lyrics

I’m pretty sure love is a cop out
I’ll say it no more til my heart drops out
I'm ok with you leaving
II've given plenty good reasons

I’ve been pushing too hard
for way too long, way too long

I’ve never felt so god damn grown up
then that time you made me throw up
you fell in love with a different man
I’ll never be him, I never can

I’ve been pushing too hard
for way too long, way too long
and I need to stop writing all these stupid songs
it just seems wrong, now that you're gone
youve carried on, you’re so strong

I’ve always been good with bad decisions
I swing this hammer with precision
resistance to breaks might be the answer
but distance makes the heart grow cancer

then I told you I love you first
no wait that was you
but I said I fell in love for the first time like this
and you said that was worse
but it was true
I'm so dumb

but then I made you come
no wait that was you
but you said come back
and I said I can't
You're too strong
