[Verse 1]
You used to paint me pictures
All alone we would sit by the lake
You never wasted a moment
Telling me just what you think
[Pre-Chorus]
Then, oh, this changed
You were never what you claimed
[Chorus]
And how can you stand to fake it?
When you know it's my heart you're breaking
You left me that day
I needed to grow
And how can you stand to chance it?
When you know it's my soul, you wrecked it
I'm leaving you now
Alone I go
[Post-Chorus]
I said I would, I meant it
[Verse 2]
I wanted to move to L.A
But this is your home, you wanted to stay
We never talked about it ending
And only our future, you said this was our time
[Pre-Chorus]
To just hold on
And maybe I held too long
[Chorus]
And how can you stand to fake it?
When you know it's my heart you're breaking
You left me that day
I needed to grow
And how can you stand to chance it?
When you know it's my soul, you wrecked it
I'm leaving you now
Alone I go
[Post-Chorus]
I said I would
[Bridge]
And what are we thinking
I never thought this would be us, I still miss you
Oh, yeah
And oh, hey, yeah
[Chorus]
How can you stand to fake it?
When you know it's my heart you're breaking
You left me that day
I needed to grow
And how can you stand to chance it?
When you know it's my soul, you wrecked it
I'm leaving you now
Alone I go
[Post-Chorus]
I said I would, I meant it
