Driving to your house almost felt the same
By the streets and turnings this could be any day
And I pull up to your door
As you open up, your arms out wide
You tell me look good, I step inside
To knock your heart out on the floor
When I say "I can't do this anymore"
I hate the way that I've hurt you
I used to take away all your pain
Gave you a piece of my heart and the rest just died
I'll say it on the inside, say it on the inside
I don't know if I miss you or I'm feeling alone
Or why I'm willing you to message me
Light up my phone
I say I'm calling, I change my mind
But I'll say it on the inside, say it on the inside
I won't listen to the songs I like to
Cos I don't want them to remind me of you
A new leaf over now the flowers have died
But I'll say it on the inside, say it on the inside, oh.
I'll say it on the inside, say it on the inside
Did we really have a future together
When we were better in the now than forever?
But it stopped us from feeling alone
Can't help but think about the better times we've had
And if I ended it then why am I so sad?
Though I really want to tell you too
Mixed messages aren't fair to you
And though I know it had to end
Don't ever think that I don't want to see your face again
