What If I Said That You Didn’t Have to Stay

[Verse 1]
Nothing hurts like you do baby
Nothing keeps me down
I said “I don’t think you’re happy lately”
Then there was no sound
What if I said that you didn’t have to stay?
My heart is under my ribs but my love is not a cage

[Chorus]
Fuck the distance, we’re just distant
And I’ve been howling but you don’t listen
To a word I say
I was underneath the moon, I was thinking about you, hoping you could feel it too
You were underneath the clouds, you were lonely in the crowd, you were bringing me down

[Verse 2]
Slow to start but quick to give up
I’ve been beaten down
I guess the bottoms just the place to
Build from solid ground
Cracks in my life are where the light is shining through
I let it reach my skin but I left nothing for you

[Chorus]
Well fuck the distance, we’re just distant
And I’ve been howling but you don’t listen
To a word I say
I was underneath the moon, I was thinking about you, hoping you could feel it too
You were underneath the clouds, you were lonely in the crowd, you were bringing me down

[Verse 3]
I didn’t mean to tear you down to nothing, but you’re not worth a damn if you’re not with me
I never meant to cause you so much heartache
But I don’t give a damn since you set me free
And after all the hardships that we’ve been through
After I saved you from yourself
It served no purpose cause I lost you
Along with the best part of myself

[Chorus]
Fuck the distance, we’re just distant
And I’ve been howling but you don’t listen
To a word I say
I was underneath the moon, I was thinking about you
You were underneath the clouds, you were lonely in the crowd, You were bringing me down, down, down
