You held me like the one thing you'd never lose
I held you at a distance and it was cruel
I'm really good at pushing away too soon
And now I wish you'd come back but you never do
Oh, they say "You're better off"
As if it's gonna make it easy to move on
Oh, they say that time will heal
But they don't ever wake up feeling like I feel
Oh
I can't forget the night that I let you walk away
You took the beating of my heart
It doesn't work the same
I close my eyes sometimes and hope that I see your face
And though I don't know where you are (I know that)
I wanted you to stay
I miss the way you'd call just to say my name
Messages on my phone, I still replay
You never know what you got till nothing's left
Forgive me now if I can say what I never said
Oh, they say "You're better off"
As if it's gonna make it easy to move on
Oh, they say that time will heal
But they don't ever wake up feeling like I feel
Oh
I can't forget the night that I let you walk away
You took the beating of my heart
It doesn't work the same
I close my eyes sometimes and hope that I see your face
And though I don't know where you are (I know that)
I wanted you to stay
I wanted you to stay
(Stay)
I wanted you to stay
I wanted you to stay
Stay
Oh, they say "You're better off"
As if it's gonna make it easy to move on
