[Verse 1: Zach Herron]
I get so caught up in me
That I don't realise what I'm missin'
All of my priorities
Never put you in my plans
[Pre-Chorus: Corbyn Besson & Jack Avery]
Every time we got closer, I pushed you away
Pulled you right back just to give you the pain
If I was your sinner, then you were my saint
Guilty of breaking your heart
[Chorus: All & Zach Herron & Corbyn Besson & (Jack Avery) & (Daniel Seavey)]
I lie here awake, thinking of all the games I played
I let you wait, hundreds of promises that I
(I never made,) I fell forever in a daze
('Til you walked away,) 'cause of the words I didn't say
[Verse 2: Jonah Marais]
There is no me without you
And you don't realise what you're missin'
This time I'm on something different
Let me show you why, for real
[Pre-Chorus: Daniel Seavey & Jack Avery]
Every time we get close, I won't push you away
Pull you right back just to give you the pain
I won't be a sinner, but you'll be my saint
Guilty of giving my all
[Chorus: All & Zach Herron & Corbyn Besson & (Jack Avery) & (Daniel Seavey)]
I lie here awake, thinking of all the games I played
I let you wait, hundreds of promises that I
(I never made,) I fell forever in a daze
('Til you walked away,) 'cause of the words I didn't...
[Pre-Chorus: Daniel Seavey & Corbyn Besson & Zach Herron]
Every time we get close, I won't push you away
Pull you right back just to give you the pain
If I was your sinner, then you are my saint
Guilty of breaking your heart
[Chorus: All & Zach Herron & Corbyn Besson & (Jack Avery) & (Daniel Seavey)]
I-I lie here awake, thinking of all the games I played
I let you wait, hundreds of promises that I
(I never made,) I fell forever in a daze
('Til you walked away,) 'cause of the words I didn't
[Outro: Daniel Seavey & All]
See, I can't live without you, I hope you'll forgive it
A world without you is a world without living
I can't live without you, I hope you'll forgive it
A world without you is a world without living
I can't live without you, I hope you'll forgive it
A world without you is a world without living
I can't live without you, I hope you'll forgive it
A world without you...
