[Verse 1]
Wrote you all these pages, threw them out
And I'll pick up the phone just to put it back down
Don't think I can hear how you're better now
[Verse 2]
I can feel the silence getting loud
How long are these thoughts about you gonna run around?
How I wish we'd found some common ground
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm putting on a show
While you're left at home
It's not personal
[Chorus]
Don't wanna cry, so I'll make a joke
You're stuck in the goddamn back of my throat
Maybe it's brighter, maybe I'm cold
There's all of these things I should say, but I don't
[Verse 3]
Did it get you heavy? Did you shake?
When you hear about mе, tell me, does it makе you flinch?
Does it kill you too, the wondering? (Wondering, wondering)
[Pre-Chorus]
Or were you dancing on your own
Or taking someone home?
Better I don't know
[Chorus]
Don't wanna cry, so I'll make a joke
You're stuck in the goddamn back of my throat
Maybe it's brighter, maybe I'm cold
There's all of these things I should say, but I don't
Can't speak your name, I'm scared that I'll choke
Block out the nights in the back of your Ford
Baby, it's cruel spitting out hope
There's all of these things I should say, but I don't
[Oh-oh?], so I just don't
[Bridge]
I-I, I-I, I-I, I-I don't
I-I, I-I, I-I, I-I don't
I-I, I-I, I-I, I-I don't
[Chorus]
Don't wanna cry, so I'll make a joke
You're stuck in the goddamn back of my throat
Maybe it's brighter, maybe I'm cold
There's all of these things I should say, but I don't
Can't speak your name, I'm scared that I'll choke
Block out the nights in the back of your Ford
Baby, it's cruel spitting out hope
There's all of these things I should say, but I don't
[Oh-oh?], so I just don't
