Instead of wasting lies on a lost cause
We can turn the tides and sail off separate docks
When I'm alone with you, it's such a hard thing to do
Something came between us, and we let it defeat us
But I respect you too much to just take off
Like someone done with trying to love
Like someone done with trying to love you
And when you're alone, who do you want to be with tonight?
Whenever you fee lost, who do you want to be your exit sign?
Cause I go away, and leave you with all these questions, yeah babe
Or I could just stay, and you won't ever have to ask them
Cause I respect you too much to just take off
Like someone done with trying to love
Like someone done with trying to love you
This is the way you want it to be
This is the way you see everything
All my mess ups, all the times I gave up
Just take me out to bleed
Just take me out to bleed
Just take your knife out of me
