~Lyrics~

[Verse 1 - Steph]
You knew it right from the start
That we’d fall apart
I’ll think of something to say
To make it all go away

I’ve fought too hard
To make you mine
So don’t you try to leave
Don’t cross line

[Pre-chorus - Steph]
Am I crazy
To be craving the love I need?
Is it even real?
Am I in too deep?

[Chorus 1 - Steph]
What if I was honest?
Told you I’m not wanted
Break something we promised
(Instead of breaking my habits)

Said that
“I’m still brokenhearted"
That’s how you responded
(Not my intention to hurt you)

But if you’re on your own
Think of how you’ll grow
And flourish
(Without me around)

I’ll only hurt you
Why would I deserve you?
Find somebody else who
(Won’t treat you the way I do)

[Verse 2 - Sloof]
You knew we’re close to the edge
Thought that I could get ahead
Just give me time to think of something to say
So we’ll make it through today

How could I ask for comfort? (You’re never gonna stay)
Not like you’ll ever put me first (Just go and lie away)
Even a blind man could see
I should have done more

[Chorus 2 - Sloof]
What if I was honest?
Told you I’m not wanted
Break something we promised
(Instead of breaking my habits)

Said that
“I’m still brokenhearted"
That’s how you responded
(Not my intention to hurt you)

But if you’re on your own
Think of how you’ll grow
And flourish
(Without me around)

I’ll only hurt you
Why would I deserve you?
Find somebody else who
(Won’t treat you the way I do)

[Bridge - Steph and Sloof]

(Steph)
I know you’re special to me
So why can’t we..?
(Make this work)

(Sloof)
Paint the red flags green
Baby, can’t you see?
(I want this to work)

(Both)
Am I crazy to be craving the love I need?
(This won’t work)
Is it even real? Am I in too deep?
(I can’t make this work)

[Chorus 3 - Steph and Sloof]
What if I was honest?
Thought of what I wanted
Something that you started
(Instead of breaking my habits)

Said that I’m just fucking heartless
All ‘cus I was loveless
(I never wanted to hurt you)

But now you’re on your own
I see how you’ve grown
And flourished
(Without me around)

So go and hate me
Why not just erase me?
Finally you can be free
(‘Cus I can’t break these habits…)
