[Verse 1]
Counted up the days
Since it went to hell and I watched you walk out
Counted up the ways
I've tried to save myself and I've kept my head down
[Pre-Chorus]
I think it's time
To give my heart a chance
See if it's healed by now
I think it's time, I think it's time
[Chorus]
I'm hanging out with someone else
I think they like me too
Will it last? It’s hard to tell
When everything feels so new
Against her hips I find some help
But I know it's not the truth
No matter what I tell myself
She's not as good, she's not as good
She's not as good as you, no
[Verse 2]
There's not a day
Where the thought of you doesn't wake up with me
Gotta be a way
I could live without ya and not feel empty
[Pre-Chorus]
I think it's time
To give my heart a chance
Even though it's bleeding
I think it's time, I think it's time
[Chorus]
I'm hanging out with someone else
I think they like me too
Will it last? It’s hard to tell
When everything feels so new
Against her hips I find some help
But I know it's not the truth
No matter what I tell myself
She's not as good, she's not as good
She's not as good as you
[Bridge]
I'll fight all night
The feelings that I can't forget
I wish you were
Sleeping next to me instead
I loved the way your
Skin would feel against my chest
I pray you're not
The best that I will ever get
[Chorus]
I'm hanging out with someone else
I think they like me too
Will it last? It’s hard to tell
When everything feels so new
Against her hips I find some help
But I know it's not the truth
No matter what I tell myself
She's not as good, she's not as good
She's not as good as you, no (Yeah, yeah)
She's not as good as you, no
She's not as good as you
