[Verse 1]
Cut ties blew up my life
I ran away and I'm still brushing the ashes from my suitcase
So all of my clothes are the same shade of grey and I'm sick of it
Still in the thick of it
So I go out with a vengeance
You never know when I'm doing my best impression
Of somebody who's finding it almost impressive
Oh it's almost working, yeah it's almost working
[Chorus]
You are the best thing that I ever had to let go
So I kept running faster, keep it from killing me slow
Oh I think I kind of underreacted
I got in the habit of acting like it never happenеd
Now I'm having a delayed reaction
[Verse 2]
Put you carеfully in boxes
All of my favorite parts in the back of the closet
I didn't want them out but I couldn't toss it
And now I'm just haunted
This whole house is haunted
[Chorus]
You are the best thing that I ever had to let go
So I kept running faster, keep it from killing me slow
Oh I think I kind of underreacted
I got in the habit of acting like it never happened
Now I'm having a delayed reaction
[Bridge]
If I don't watch the end of the movie
Then I'm not the villian who ended it cruelly
And I want you [?] you are everything to me
Hope you know that you were everything to me
If I don't watch the end of the movie
Then I won't see all the future in losing
And I love how you were everything to me
Hope you know that you were everything to me
[Chorus]
You are the best thing that I ever had to let go (I let you go)
So I kept running faster, keep it from killing me slow
Oh I think I kind of underreacted
I got in the habit of acting like it never happened
Now I'm having a delayed
Yeah, I think I'm having a delayed-
