Lyrics

[Chorus]
Heartbreak can wait
'Cause I'm too scared to let you go
Yeah, I know I gotta do this
But I'm making up excuses not to be alone
[Verse 1]
Still haven't made it up the PCH
Still haven't kissed you in the pouring rain
Birthday 'round the corner, couple weeks away
So I'm holding off
[Verse 2]
Things are going good, but they're not going great
You've been working hard, and I've been working late
The words that I've been thinking I don't really wanna say
So, I'm holding off
[Chorus]
Heartbreak can wait
'Cause I'm too scared to let you go
Yeah, I know I gotta do this
But I'm making up excuses not to be alone
[Chorus]
Heartbreak can wait
But I don't wanna waste your time
So I'ma take your hand and hold it
Like I'm never letting go before I say goodbye
Heartbreak can wait
[Verse 3]
I haven't slept a second in the last seven nights
Living in my head, I'm rehearsing every line
I know that there's no way that we're not gonna cry
So, I'm holding off
[PreChorus]
Desperate for my soul to softly say
"It's okay to stay a few more days"
[Chorus]
Heartbreak can wait
'Cause I'm too scared to let you go
Yeah, I know I gotta do this
But I'm making up excuses not to be alone
[Chorus]
Heartbreak can wait
But I don't wanna waste your time
So I'ma take your hand and hold it
Like I'm never letting go before I say goodbye
[Bridge]
Wait a second, I feel like my stomach's in my throat
Why is it the ones you love, the ones you hurt the most?
Went as far as I can run, but now I'm out of road
I gotta let you know
I gotta let you know
[Bridge]
Wait a second, I feel like my stomach's in my throat
Why is it the ones you love, the ones you hurt the most?
Went as far as I can run, but now I'm out of road
I gotta let you know
[Chorus]
But heartbreak can wait
'Cause I'm too scared to let you go
Yeah, I know I gotta do this
But I'm making up excuses not to be alone
