[Verse 1]
I'm terrified of sleeping alone but I can't stay where you are
I don't remember what it's like here without you but it's time I start
I don't want to, but I still care what you say
It was killing you to watch me be happy and let you take it away
I try to make your words mean something that they never meant
[Chorus]
But I can't keep shrugging it off
I can't lose any more than I've lost
I wish I'd left before you looked down every easy way out
Every easy way out
[Verse 2]
Forget how it started but I remember how it felt
No it seems like I'm made out of nothing when I'm all by myself
Feel the air push my face as we swept away
With the best of thoughts that I know I wanna say
I'm done tearing myself apart to fill the spaces you left
I try to make your words mean something that they never meant
[Chorus]
But I can't keep shrugging it off
I can't lose any more than I've lost
I wish I'd left before you looked down every easy way out
Every easy way out
Every easy way out
[Bridge]
I'm so tired of pretending that I'm not afraid of you
Spinning my words til' I can't think straight
It's not even me, it's a game and you can't stand to lose
[Chorus]
And I can't keep shrugging it off
I can't lose any more than I've lost
I wish I'd left before you looked down every easy way out
Every easy way out
