Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been dodging the question far too long
I see you sitting there
What are you running away from?
How long can you stand on a broken branch
Before it falls?
Leaving won't fix your problems
[Verse 2]
I hate to say I told you so
Turns out I came undone
You're not the only one
I hate to say I told you so
Turns out we're broken and careless
[Verse 3]
You'll get by while I get better
Don't hold on 'cause I'll hold you back
When there's hope in what I say
You'll always turn away
You'll get by while I get better
(While I get better)
[Verse 4]
You really shouldn't have left here in the first place
When are you coming back?
I set myself up to break down
A broken heart makes you seem weak
And far from feeling happy
What are you running away from?
[Verse 5]
I hate to say I told you so
Turns out I came undone
You're not the only one
[Verse 6]
You'll get by while I get better
Don't hold on 'cause I'll hold you back
When there's hope in what I say
You'll always turn away
You'll get by while I get better
(While I get better)
[Verse 7]
Forgetful apologies
Over and over
Forgetful apologies
Over and over
[Verse 8]
I hate to say I told you so
Turns out we're broken and careless
[Verse 9]
You'll get by while I get better
Don't hold on 'cause I'll hold you back
When there's hope in what I say
You'll always turn away
[Verse 10]
You'll get by while I get better
(Forgetful apologies)
Don't hold on 'cause I'll hold you back
(Over and over)
When there's hope in what I say
You always turn away
You'll get by while I get better
(While I get better)
