lyrics

We try to be the ones
That can hold on to something nice
The things we saw ****
The things we saw in those first nights
But every night we get into it and
Push each other to the end and
I know if it's gonna fail
It's gonna end by something we say

So I know I need to leave this love yet
Everything I know says stand by your side
But if I stay with you
It requires a worser part of me

It used to be that we brought out our best
So stoked to spend any moment with you
But in time we could see the edge
Of where I hope to be and where we are and
I kept hoping if we gave it more time
We could make it less complicated
But when it requires such a change in our hearts
I know it means a change in our souls

So I know I need to leave this love yet
Everything I know says stand by your side
But if I stay with you
It requires a deadening of me

I know it's complicated for you
It isn't much better for me
But if we try to honour our love
We might see a friendship worth honouring yeah

And we can now see the difference
Between what we want and what we have and
As time moves on it starts to widen the gap
We feel between me and you
And the people we were when we first met
So as we walk away lets try and honour those hearts

And I know I need to leave this love
When every word we say breaks my heart
And I know it will be ok
We just gotta take the risk to start
