[Verse 1]
We see it two different ways
My head has been in a daze
I haven't slept in a week
I made a promise to you I can't keep
It's driving me to the edge
I walk myself to the ledge
I jump a thousand feet
Just so I can finally get relief
[Pre-Chorus]
And the feeling of falling out of your love
Has a dread I could've never dreamed of
And it haunts me just to think of what I've done
In the light of everything we've become
[Chorus]
I'm finally learning to love myself better than I have before
And I know that means I'm breaking your heart
Oh, but lover, we were broken from the start
[Verse 2]
I hope you look at her still
And feel the love that I felt
I know that soon you will build your life again with someone else
Is it selfish to keep wanting you this way?
I know I'm the only one here to blame
You can't move on when I'm always in your way
And we both know I can't stay
[Chorus]
I'm finally learning to love myself better than I have before
And I know that means I'm breaking your heart
Oh, but lover, we were broken from the start
[Bridge]
Lightning strikes in the same place
We better run and hide before it finds us again
It's dangerous to think all the things we could have been
Lover, that's a war we would never win
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Is it selfish to keep wanting you this way?
I know I'm the only one here to blame
You can't move on when I'm always in your way
When I can't make up my mind either way
[Chorus]
I'm finally learning to love myself better than I have before
And I know that means I'm breaking your heart
Oh, but lover, we were broken from the start
[Outro]
I think I made a promise to you I can't keep
I think I made a promise to you I can't keep
