Tell me again, girl, why we need to go our separate ways

You know I need you, don't you run away

How can I convince you I need you to stay?

So, our first time, it didn't work, so then I blamed the universe

They say I'm gifted, but I'm a curse

All she had to say was, "you the worst"

That cut deep, even though they words cause skin deep

I've been doing worse than she even knows

So then what's the purpose of going home when I don't think it's worth it?

You know they do say that the person you end up with is your mirror image

And if that's so, then your life depended on me getting all my shit together

Apologies I received when I didn't need them

I've been playing demon to this little angel and give her the Holy Ghost in a brand new Beamer

Obstacles that we faced couldn't hold a needle to the fucking haystack

I'd erase that and replace that

But the truth is, I don't face facts

You been saying that you ain't happy here

If you wasn't happy, why'd you stay the year?

Why'd you put yourself through this unnecessary pain, bleeding out your tears?

What was so important that you stayed here?

We had no kids, no estate here

We ain't sign nothing, we could break deals

We can cut steel with the tension as thick as it is

When we flexing our pride as a weapon

I'm the one always telling you that time heals

Is it best though that we head in this direction

Tell me again, girl, why we need to go our separate ways

You know I need you, don't you run away

How can I convince you I need you to stay?

Tell me again, girl, why we need to go our separate ways

How can I convince you I need you to stay?

We was living together and passing each other

We make an excuse to be mad at each other

The house was too cluttered to be here together

We said it was better to stick here together

Holding you close to the rain and storm

Eventually so, we both know that we're straying from norm

The windows are caved in

Glass shards on the floor shaven

Only time that we say that we love each other

I'm inside her backwards and I'm naked

It don't make sense

And I think for the sake of it all, we don't say shit

So we think that us moving on is gonna save us

But when does life play fair?

Love's still here

You put up signs yelling "VACANT!"

If I give you an inch and you take it

With that mile between us, I don't think I'ma make it

But we talking about it

So let's make this our final statement

And once I'm done spilling my feelings to you and you take it

I'ma act like you don't exist and we're faking

All the punch drunk love shots that we love taking

It all feels amazing in the moments when we making em

So to stop now, would be breaking em

If you don't feel a thing, then I'm shaking it

If you don't find this real, why you playing this?

If I ain't mean it whenever I said that I love you

Then why would I waste your name in all my prayers then?

Saint
