lyrics

I sat you down on the couch
You pulled me in and kissed my mouth
I couldn’t bear then to tell you
The timing just didn’t work out

Later that night in our bed
I opened up the message thread
Oh, how I wish I had told you
In a gentler way instead

But open your eyes, take a look
It isn’t that difficult to see
It’s been crumbling all around us,
And the rubble is burying me

I don’t want to hurt you
I just what I want
I can’t love you if I don’t want to
Nobody wins that way

Imagine if I were you
And you were me
Would you want someone next to you
Who didn’t want to be?

I don’t want to hurt you
I just want what I want
I can’t love you if I don’t want to
Nobody wins that way

Now that it’s all come to rest
I hope you agree that it’s all for the best
‘Cause I don’t want to hurt you
I just want what I want
I can’t love you if I don’t want to
Nobody wins that way
