Lyrics

Words

[Verse 1]

Waiting on you

Trying to keep your head strong

With nothing to lose

You raise your voice with something to prove

And all the things you say to me

I can't forget them

You don't leave

But you tell me with your eyes what you need

Oh, please

Do you think that I don't know what it means?

[Pre-Chorus 1]

All the things you hide from me

I accept them

But I need you next to me

[Chorus]

If I can't hold you now

Keep thinking that you might not come around

I have no words

I have no words to say

If I can't change your mind

Keep thinking, is this our last goodbye?

You say it first

You say it first to me

[Verse 2]

You're in the clear

While I'm waking up to nothing but tears

And you stay the same

Like I'm the only one that needed to change

[Pre-Chorus 2]

You know the things you said to me

Do you regret them?

I just need you next to me

[Chorus]

If I can't hold you now

Keep thinking that you might not come around

I have no words

I have no words to say

If I can't change your mind

Keep thinking, is this our last goodbye?

You say it first

You say it first to me

[Bridge]

So I

Can just forget you

Just forget you, ooh ooh

Can just forget you

Just forget you, ooh ooh

[Chorus]

And If I can't hold you now

Keep thinking how you might not come around

And I have no words

I have no words to say

If I can't change your mind

Keep thinking, is this our last goodbye?

You say it first, you say it first to me

If I can't hold you now (If I can't hold you now)

Keep thinking that you might not come around (Might not come around)

I have no words

I have no words to say

If I can't change your mind (If I can't change your mind)

Keep thinking, is this our last goodbye? (Our last goodbye)

You say it first

You say it first to me
