Even Though It Kills Me

[Verse 1]
I knew this was coming
It wasn't a surprise
'Cause you were never happy
When I was in your eyes
I know we've been sleeping
In a bed that's full of lies
Every night
I thought I had given you enough
I thought what we had was really love
Leave it up to me to fuck it up
Every time but
I know I just need to let you go
Suffocating never made us close
But I just really needed you to know

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna wait if what's done is done baby
I don't wanna stay if he's on your mind lately
Would you understand
Like I understand
I can't be your man
Even though it kills me
I don't wanna wait if what's done is done baby
I don't wanna stay if he’s on your mind lately
Would you understand
Like I understand
That I can't be your man

[Verse 2]
I've been feeling empty
I know you feel the same
I don't know the last time
I heard you say my name
Thought that we could piece this
Back together, what a shame
Well I tried too many times
Broken pictures frames are all I have
Memories of you are flooding back
I hope he can give you what I lack
I'll be fine but
I can't really seem to let you go
Got my grip on picture perfect hopes
It's not getting easier to cope

[Chorus]
I don't wanna wait if what's done is done baby
I don't wanna stay if he's on your mind lately
Would you understand
Like I understand
I can't be your man
Even though it kills me
I don't wanna wait if what's done is done baby
I don't wanna stay if he's on your mind lately
Would you understand
Like I understand
That I can't be your man
Even though it kills me

[Post-Chorus]
Don't keep me on hold
I don't wanna hear maybe
Leave me in the cold
Now my soul is left aching
Do you understand
Like I understand
That I should be your man
Even if it kills me

[Bridge]
Even if it kills me
Even if it kills me
Even if it kills me

[Chorus]
I don't wanna wait if what's done is done baby
I don't wanna stay if he's on your mind lately
Would you understand
Like I understand
That I can't be your man
Even though it kills me
