Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wish that I could close your tired eyes
That are hanging by a rope of compromise
You shouldn’t have to hold
Your desires are running off the page
There’s so much more I wish that I could save
You’re all I want, but a thousand miles away
[Chorus]
Late texts, you're checking your phone
New state, I've never been here before
Please wait for me
Oh, I hate the way you have to leave the light on when I leave
[Verse 2]
If it gets too much and you can’t bear the weight
Just let me go before you start to break
It’s not your fault, it’s me who couldn’t stay
‘Cause I’m the one to blame
[Chorus]
Late texts, you're checking your phone
New state, I've never been here before
Please wait for me
Oh, I hate the way you have to leave the light on when I leave
[Chorus]
Cold sweats, keeping a gun by the bed
No headrest, I know that I should be it
Be brave for me
Oh, I hate the way you have to leave the light on when I leave
[Bridge]
I should give you
I know that I should give you
I know that I should give you up
I know that what I’m giving
I know that what I’m giving
I know that it’s so far from enough
[Chorus]
Late texts, you're checking your phone
New state, I've never been here before
Don’t wait for me
‘Cause I hate the way you have to leave the light on when I leave
[Chorus]
Cold sweats, keeping a gun by the bed
No headrest, I know that I should be it
Be brave for me
Oh, I hate the way you have to leave the light on when I leave
[Outro]
When I leave
When I leave
Oh, I hate the way you have to leave the light on
