Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’ll pick you up at the same time, at the same place, the same old drive
We’ll just talk about our day to try to fill the awkward space tonight
We’ll play the songs we used to love while we try to fall in love again
We don’t know who’s wrong or right, we don’t even care enough to fight
[Verse 2]
We’re going through the motions
‘Cause we can’t fix what’s broken
And I know it’s gonna hurt
But darling I’ll go first
‘Cause I won’t keep on saying those three empty words
I won’t keep on saying those three empty words
Oh
[Verse 3]
Though we’re still talking every day, I’m running out of things to say to ya
It’s really gonna break my heart to have to tell your little brother
It might be easier to stay, but it’ll never be the same no, oh no
And if something doesn’t change, then we’ll keep on sinking further, oh
[Verse 4]
We’re going through the motions
‘Cause we can’t fix what’s broken
And I know it’s gonna hurt
But darling I’ll go first
‘Cause I won’t keep on saying those three empty words
[Verse 5]
Those three empty words
Will only make it worse
I’m tired I can’t take it anymore
Those three empty words
Will only make it worse
We’re tired we can’t take it anymore
[Verse 6]
We’re going through the motions
‘Cause we can’t fix what’s broken
And I know it’s gonna hurt
But darling I’ll go first
I won’t keep on saying those three empty words
We don’t have to keep on saying those three empty words
I can’t keep on saying those three empty words
