When someone's love goes dead, do we ever believe it?

To slowly pull back our hands till we're ready to say it

Cause maybe that's easier than letting go

Or we torture ourselves till the inevitable happens

And that always happens

It starts with doing things without them

And then you live in different states

And they start needing to remind themselves

To call you every day

And then they're making friends with people

Who barely know your name

And once that happens they'll still love you

But not in that way

Not in that, not in that way

Everyone goes too far till we're overexpired

Knowing we would be better off if they called it back

When they knew what we had wouldn't cut it

Cause maybe that's easier than letting go

Just torture ourselves till the inevitable happens

And that always happens

It starts with doing things without them

And then you live in different states

And they start needing to remind themselves

To call you every day

And then they're making friends with people

Who barely know your name

And once that happens they'll still love you

But not in that way

Not in that, not in that way

Maybe we were meant to be just for a minute

And then that minute ended

Cause we shared air like water

Was pouring in around us

And maybe that's our problem

We never went without it

It starts with doing things without them

And then you live in different states

And they start needing to remind themselves

To call you every day

And then they're making friends with people

Who barely know your name

And once that happens they'll still love you

But not in that way

Not in that, not in that way

No, not in that way

Not in that, not in that way
