[Verse 1]
I can't shake you off, dear
Something I have tried to do
But I can't shake you off, dear
Sit on trains and think of you
But I, oh I can't tell
If it hurts or it helps
[Pre-Chorus]
All the things you said sleeping in my head
Is it a curse I have?
Hurting things it don't deserve
I know, I know, I'm fucked
'Cause I felt love like us
[Chorus]
So breathe me in
One last time
And we'll play our rehearsed
Goodbyes
[Post-Chorus]
And I won't say it if you don't say
Please don't say it
Don't say "I love you still"
[Verse 2]
What if I could say
Thank you for the best parts?
Sorry for my weak heart
My love just hurts when loving
But you were thе best part
You were
[Chorus]
So brеathe me in
One last time
And we'll play our rehearsed
Goodbyes
[Post-Chorus]
And I won't say it if you don't say it
Please don't say it
Don't say "I love you still"
And I won't say it if you don't say
Please don't say it
You know I love you still
[Outro]
You know I love you still
(You know I love you still)
(You know I love you still)
