— LYRICS —

I could be gone in a minute
I might jump out of the window and dive in the street
I only fight when I’m winning
But I don’t have any fight left in me
I never know when to quit it
I’ll tear it all to the ground and accept my defeat
You won’t decide when it’s finished
No, you don’t get to take that from me

I could run away if I want to
I’m not gonna stay, but I want you to know
I’ve been okay since I lost you
You just made a mistake and I want you to go
Just give me a break
How much more can I take?
This heavy feeling’s got me feeling we got carried away
And I don’t wanna carry the weight

Go tell your friends that I’m different
You’ll set the story with lies and I’ll bet they agree
‘Cause you’re always the victim
No, I don’t care how you describe me
It’s always your world we live in
All your delusional fantasies setting the scene
And by the time you’re forgiven
No, you won’t even recognize me

I could run away if I want to
I’m not gonna stay, but I want you to know
I’ve been okay since I lost you
You just made a mistake and I want you to go
Just give me a break
How much more can I take?
This heavy feeling’s got me feeling we got carried away

And I don’t wanna carry the weight of you calling at four in the morning
Losing your patience without any warning
Changing the rules I’m expected to follow
I know it’s tough, its a hard pill to swallow
You pack your shit and pile it on
But I won’t hold it for you any longer

‘Cause I could run away if I want to
And I’m not gonna stay, but I want you to know
I’ve been okay since I lost you
You just made a mistake and I want you to go
Just give me a break
How much more can I take?
This heavy feeling’s got me feeling we got carried away
And I don’t wanna carry the weight
