lyrics

My head has been in a daze
I haven't slept in a week
I made a promise to you I can't keep

It's driving me to the edge
I walk myself to the ledge
I'd jump a thousand feet
Just so I can finally get relief

And the feeling of falling out of your love
Has a dread I couldn't ever dream up
And it haunts me just to think of what I'd done
And in light of everything we'd become

I'm finally learning to love myself
Better than I have before
And I know that means I'm breaking your heart
Oh, but lover, we were broken from the start

I hope you look at us still
And feel the love that I felt
I know that soon you will build
Your life again with someone else

Is it selfish to keep wanting you this way?
I know I'm the only one here to blame
You can't move on when I'm always in your way
And we both know I can't stay

I'm finally learning to love myself
Better than I have before
And I know that means I'm breaking your heart
Oh, but lover, we were broken from the start

Lightning strikes in the same place
We better run and hide 'fore it finds us again
It's dangerous to think all the things we could have been
Lover that's a war we will never win

Is it selfish to keep wanting you this way?
I know I'm the only one here to blame
You can't move on when I'm always in your way
When I can't make up my mind either way

I'm finally learning to love myself
Better than I have before
And I know that means I'm breaking your heart
Oh, but lover, we were broken from the start

Think I made a promise to you I can't keep
Think I made a promise to you I can't keep
