We were safe living in “the someday”
Living in the “maybe not right now, but if we wait”
Push aside all “the sometimes”
We’re starting to become these people we don’t even recognize
I push and pull
I try to make excuses
While I start to slip away
I’m back and forth
Weighing out my options
Should I go or should I stay?
I need a teleprompter
Something to tell me what to say
The words to make this work
Or words to make this a clean break
I need a better writer
One who’s been through this before
I don’t know what to say no more
Compromise, dodging another fight
Holding on to moments good enough for us to get by
Kiss and lie, it always starts with other lies
Tell each other absolutes when we’re unsure inside
I push and pull
I try to make excuses
While I start to slip away
I’m back and forth
Weighing out my options
Should I go or should I stay?
I need
I need a teleprompter
Something to tell me what to say
The words to make this work
Or words to make this a clean break
I need a better writer
One who’s been through this before
I don’t know what to say no more
I don’t wanna mess this up when we’re already already on the line(x2)
I don’t wanna mess this up but we can’t pretend can’t pretend that we’re fine(x2)
I need a teleprompter
Something to tell me what to say
The words to make this work
Or words to make this a clean break
I need a better writer
One who’s been through this before
I don’t know what to say no more
