Work It Out

Sound of rain on my window

I told her not to worry

All the gloomy poems I wrote

When she left me in a hurry

The pain, sometimes unbearable

And I keep forgetting who I am

But the feeling’s oh so memorable

I just wanna play pretend

No romantic hide-outs

No nights of sweaty love

I guess I saw it coming

But facing truth is hard

And I know what I’m supposed to do

And I tried to take it slow with you

But I lose my self control with you

You left me feeling so confused

Cause I don’t wanna get over you

But I know it’ll be over soon

I keep pretending that maybe we can work it out

(Maybe) we can work it out

Is this the ending? It’s all I ever think about

(Baby) when you’re not around

First, I was under the impression we were kind of in a mess

But we were making progress and we would work it out (work it out)

But now I’m second guessing cause I know it’s got you stressing

And it ain’t my happiness that you’re concerned about

You say you feel these feelings that you can’t describe

But I can hear it in your voice, see it in your eyes

Is it planned obsolescence, bad design?

Are we holding on to nothing like it’s pantomime?

I ain’t ready to accept that (nah), we don’t need to call it off it’s just a set-back (yeah)

Maybe we just need some rest, no calls and no texts

Maybe you just need some space and I respect that (yeah)

But I know that you’ll leave me, whatever the reason

So maybe next lifetime or maybe next season

Or maybe this weekend, just give it some thought

Are we taking a break or are you breaking my heart?

And I know what I’m supposed to do

And I tried to take it slow with you

But I lose my self control with you

(I just lose my self-control)

You left me feeling so confused

Cause I don’t wanna get over you

But I know it’ll be over soon

I keep pretending that maybe we can work it out

(Maybe) we can work it out

Is this the ending? It’s all I ever think about

(Baby) when you’re not around

I keep pretending that maybe we can work it out

(Maybe) we can work it out

Is this the ending? It’s all I ever think about

(Baby) when you’re not around
