DON’T LET ME GO

I know I said I’m good

I know I said I’m fine

But you can read me better

Than I ever could sometimes

I been doing my thing

Got a lot on my plate

Everybody thinks I’m moving on

‘Cause I’m staying out late

I don’t talk about you

I don’t ask where you’ve been

But somehow every road I take

Still brings me back again

I don’t wanna call

I don’t wanna chase

I don’t wanna be the guy

Who can’t give you space

But if you asked me right now

If I wanted you gone

I’d probably lie to your face

Just to prove that I’m strong

Maybe I’m better alone

Maybe I’m better with you

I keep trying to know

But I don’t know what to do

Don’t let me go

Even if I tell you to

Don’t let me go

Even when I act like I’m through

I got too much pride

To tell you what I need

So if you really know me

Don’t let me leave

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

If you’re gonna walk away

Just give me one more second

Before you let me go

I hate that you know

Every weakness I hide

You can hear it in my voice

When I’m saying I’m alright

And I know we’re complicated

I know we’re hard to explain

But I’d rather have the truth

Than keep pretending we’re the same

Maybe I’m scared

That if I finally say it

Then everything changes

And I can’t take it back

So I keep it in my chest

And I laugh when you ask

Like I’m not thinking about it

Every time that you pass

Maybe I’m better alone

Maybe I’m better with you

I keep trying to know

But I don’t know what to do

Don’t let me go

Even if I tell you to

Don’t let me go

Even when I act like I’m through

I got too much pride

To tell you what I need

So if you really know me

Don’t let me leave

I been running from the truth

Like the truth gonna run faster

Trying to keep my heart quiet

While my head makes it louder

I don’t need you to save me

I don’t need you to stay

I just hate that when you’re leaving

I got nothing left to say

Maybe we’re a bad idea

Maybe that’s why it feels right

Maybe I only understand you

When it’s two in the morning

And the whole world’s quiet

Don’t let me go

Even if I tell you to

Don’t let me go

Even when I act like I’m through

I got too much pride

To tell you what I need

So if you really know me

Don’t let me leave

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

If you’re gonna walk away

Just give me one more second

Before you let me go

I know I said I’m good

I know I said I’m fine

But if you really know me

You know that’s a lie
