[Verse 1]
Don't tell me what I wanna hear
I don't wanna hear you going on about it
Just save me from another year
Looking through my rearview mirror
No, I don't want that
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe it's just come to an end
Don't need to bring us back from the dead
Maybe it just ran its course
And trying too hard only makes me feel
[Chorus]
Like we're a lost cause
Like we're betting on a dead horse
I try reaching out with both arms
For something that never was
For something that never was
[Verse 2]
Don't tell me what I wanna hear
I don't wanna hear you still going on about it
'Cause lately, I don't havе the tears
My consciencе hasn't been this clear
And it makes me feel
[Chorus]
Like we're a lost cause
Like we're betting on a dead horse
I try reaching out with both arms
For something that never was
For something that never was
[Post-Chorus]
Reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out
Reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out
Reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out
Reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out
[Bridge]
Maybe it's just come to an end
Don't need to bring it back from the dead
Maybe it just ran its course
And trying too hard only makes it worse
I feel
I feel
I feel
[Chorus]
Like we're a lost cause
Like we're betting on a dead horse
I try reaching out with both arms
For something that never was
For something that never was
[Post-Chorus]
Reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out
Reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out
Reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out
Reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out

The thing that I really love about this song is AJ’s stacked harmonies on the verses. And then that breakdown bridge lyric is really moving to me: ‘Maybe it’s just come to an end/Don’t need to bring us back from the dead/Maybe it just ran its course/And trying too hard only makes it worse.’ It feels...
