(Instrumental intro)

(Verse 1)
I see your hands shake, you don’t wanna let go
But we’ve been running in circles, and I think you know
Every word feels heavy, like it’s sinking in
I can’t love you right, and that’s my biggest sin

(Pre-Chorus)
And I hate the way you look at me like I’m your home
But I can’t be the light when I’m better off alone

(Chorus)
I don’t wanna hurt you, but I can’t stay
I could fake it, but it won’t change
You’ll never be happy if you’re waiting on me
So I’ll burn this bridge and set you free
You’re better off without me

(Instrumental break)

(Verse 2)
Every time we talk, it’s a knife in my chest
Tryna find the words, but they all come out a mess
I’m selfish if I stay, I’m heartless if I don’t
But either way, I gotta let you go

(Pre-Chorus)
And I know it ain’t what you wanna hear
But I can’t love you just to keep you near

(Chorus)
I don’t wanna hurt you, but I can’t stay
I could fake it, but it won’t change
You’ll never be happy if you’re waiting on me
So I’ll burn this bridge and set you free
You’re better off without me

(Bridge)
One day, you’ll see, you’ll finally get it
I never meant to break your spirit
But I can’t be the weight that holds you down
You deserve more than a hollow sound

(instrumental break)

(Chorus)
One day, you’ll see, you’ll finally get it (you'll get it, oh yeahhhh)
I never meant to break your spirit (your spirit, spirittttt)
But I can’t be the weight that holds you down (you down, downnn, downnnn)
You deserve more than a hollow sound (hollow sound, hollow sound)

(Outro, murmured lyrics)
You’re better off without me...
Without me...

(instrumental outro)
