Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I remember like yesterday
You had a dream in your eyes and a smile on your face
And I'm missing those days again, yeah, I'm missing those days again
And I forgot what really got in the way
Maybe the sun that wouldn't shine should be taking the blame
'Cause it's raining on me again, yeah, it's raining on me again
[PreChorus]
A paradox, the key you dropped
A manifest for what you lost
Was me
For my sake please
[Chorus]
Stop slowing me down, stop holding me up
Quit making a scene, enough's enough
Let's be honest, your promise was never meant to last
So I'm taking you on, I'm calling you out
There's nothing left for us here now
Let's be honest, I promise I'm never lookin' back for my sake
For my sake
[Verse 2]
Tell me something that's poetic at best
Make me believe there was a time that you weren't like the rest
And I'll never ask you again, and I'll never ask you again
For all the moments and the memories
No one could ever say we never had a history
But I'm leaving that all behind, and there's nothing gonna change my mind
[PreChorus]
A paradox, the key you dropped
A manifest for what you lost
Was me
For my sake please
[Chorus]
Stop slowing me down, stop holding me up
Quit making a scene, enough's enough
Let's be honest, your promise was never meant to last
So I'm taking you on, I'm calling you out
There's nothing left for us here now
Let's be honest, I promise I'm never lookin' back for my sake
For my sake
[Bridge]
A paradox, the key you dropped
A manifest for what you lost
Was me
For my sake please
Stop slowing me down
Stop holding me up
Stop slowing me down
Enough's enough
[Chorus]
Stop slowing me down, stop holding me up
Quit making a scene, enough's enough
Let's be honest, your promise was never meant to last
So I'm taking you on, I'm calling you out
There's nothing left for us here now
Let's be honest, I promise I'm never lookin' back for my sake
I'm never lookin' back, for my sake
For my sake
For my sake
