I have a nasty habit leavin' before I get left You'll think my light's on yellow when I'm keeping you on read Stonewall my emotions, even when I wanna And cry tears as wide as the ocean, but I don't
One fight, too many 3 a.m.'s, I guess we're broken up You're like, "This is just a conversation, baby, what the fuck?" Now I'm screaming "Goodbye" out like it means "I love you" Internal warfare, it's what I always do
Now I'm watchin' you It's hittin' different now, but I'm tellin' myself
"I'm better on my own, I'm better on my own Wait, don't go It's all I've ever known, it's all I've ever known Wait, don't go"
Can I take it back now? Can we make it last? Oh
I'm co-dependent with my independence through and through My September makes me stubborn, but it's fightin' with my moon When I said, "Just leave then," I was only fishin' How stupid of me to think you wouldn't listen
Now you're packin' up your t-shirts, but I want 'em in the drawer Can't get myself to say, "Stay," before you're out the door Been time under tension, it's blurring my vision And so once again, my head and heart are at war
I'm better on my own, I'm better on my own Wait, don't go It's all I've ever known, it's all I've ever known Wait, don't go I'm screaming on the phone, I'm screaming on the phone Wait (just wait), don't go You're all I wanna know, you're all I wanna know Wait
If I drive you away, will it cut like a blade? Will it carry the same weight? At the end of the day, I'm a girl I'm afraid, turn around, hit the brakes Ooh, and now you got me
Screaming on the phone, I'm screaming on the phone (Can I take it back now? Can we make it last? Oh) Wait, don't go You're all I wanna know, (ooh) you're all I wanna know Wait, don't go
Can I take it back now? Can we make it last? Oh
Feelings ain't the facts Just the patterns of my past so wait
