I haven’t figured out how to be alone
I try not to think about it
I thought you could ride out the storm
Baby, I should have known better

You can call it what you want
It would have made more sense
To try and stop loving you
As a form of self defense
I should have called your bluff
Let you walk away
Let it come undone
Instead of begging you to stay

You were dressed in winter
With an icy stare
The silence splintered
The birds flew away all at once

It’s hard to quit when you’re ahead
I know you’ve got your reasons
I wonder what you would have said
If you’d have loved me enough to lie

You can call it what you want
It would have made more sense
To try and stop loving you
As a form of self defense
I should have called your bluff
Let you walk away
Let it come undone
Instead of begging you to stay

So I lie awake
Counting ghosts while you sleep
And all the ways a heart can break
I know it’s time to let you go

You can call it what you want
It would have made more sense
To try and stop loving you
As a form of self defense
I should have called your bluff
Let you walk away
Let it come undone
Instead of begging you to stay
