Love You (But I Don’t)

Wish I could give you a reason
But I can't even make it make sense myself
'Cause you're perfect on paper
I honestly probably need some help
Bear with me for a minute
I'm in my head, just listen

I hate the sound of cliches
But I don't know how to say it any other way

How do I let you down easy?
Just say,"It's not you it's me"
"I think we should see other people"
"Right now I need to be single"
I could act like it's complicated
I could say, "We can still stay friends"
All the other sugar coat shit
But the truth is I wish I could love you but I don't

All my friends are gonna be pissed
Tell me I can't help myself
Always gotta go and ruin
What's right what's wrong with my mental health
They say in the end it will be worth it
They're tellin' me that I deserve this

I hate the sound of cliches
But I don't know how to say it any other way

How do I let you down easy?
Just say,"It's not you it's me"
"I think we should see other people"
"Right now I need to be single"
I could act like it's complicated
I could say, "We can still stay friends"
All the other sugar coat shit
But the truth is I wish I could love you but I don't,
I don't

You know when you know and I know I don't
Could string you along but baby I won't
You know, I know, I wish I could love you, love you

You know when you know and I know I don't
Could string you along but baby I won't
You know, I know, I wish I could love you, love you

How do I let you down easy?
Just say,"It's not you it's me"
"I think we should see other people"
"Right now I need to be single"
I could act like it's complicated
I could say, "We can still stay friends"
All the other sugar coat shit
But the truth is I wish I could love you but I don't,
I don't
