Why my friends better boyfriends than you? 00:07
Do the shit that you're supposed to 00:09
I'm overthinking I'm worried it's something I did 00:11
'Cause there you are in a bad mood again 00:18
I brush it off 'cause I try to pretend 00:21
I don't compare you to everyone else in my head 00:23
Used to be the little things 00:28
Yeah you tried until you got me 00:32
I gave you my everything 00:35
Then the trying started stopping 00:38
When did you get so cold? 00:41
Was it all just for show? 00:44
'Cause it feels like we're on, we're on cruise control oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh 00:47
My head and my heart both know 00:53
That it's time to let you go 00:56
'Cause it feels like we're on, we're on cruise control oh-oh-oh oh, oh-oh-oh oh 00:59
Is it a phase or is it the end? 01:05
Worth the wait or am I wasting 01:08
All of my time always making excuses for you (for you) 01:11
Yeah the world keeps pulling us away 01:16
But we don't stop to see the signs 01:19
Am I making a mistake? 01:22
Am I giving you a free ride? 01:25
When did you get so cold? 01:29
Was it all just for show? 01:31
'Cause it feels like we're on, we're on cruise control oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh 01:34
My head and my heart both know 01:40
That it's time to let you go 01:43
'Cause it feels like we're on, we're on cruise control oh-oh-oh oh, oh-oh-oh oh 01:46
Oh, I'm running on empty 01:53
Oh, but you're barely with me 01:59
When did you get so cold? 02:06
Was it all just for show? 02:08
'Cause it feels like we're on, we're on cruise control oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh 02:11
My head and my heart both know 02:17
That it's time to let you go 02:20

[English]

Why my friends better boyfriends than you?
Do the shit that you're supposed to
I'm overthinking I'm worried it's something I did
'Cause there you are in a bad mood again
I brush it off 'cause I try to pretend
I don't compare you to everyone else in my head
Used to be the little things
Yeah you tried until you got me
I gave you my everything
Then the trying started stopping
When did you get so cold?
Was it all just for show?
'Cause it feels like we're on, we're on cruise control oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
My head and my heart both know
That it's time to let you go
'Cause it feels like we're on, we're on cruise control oh-oh-oh oh, oh-oh-oh oh
Is it a phase or is it the end?
Worth the wait or am I wasting
All of my time always making excuses for you (for you)
Yeah the world keeps pulling us away
But we don't stop to see the signs
Am I making a mistake?
Am I giving you a free ride?
When did you get so cold?
Was it all just for show?
'Cause it feels like we're on, we're on cruise control oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
My head and my heart both know
That it's time to let you go
'Cause it feels like we're on, we're on cruise control oh-oh-oh oh, oh-oh-oh oh
Oh, I'm running on empty
Oh, but you're barely with me
When did you get so cold?
Was it all just for show?
'Cause it feels like we're on, we're on cruise control oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
My head and my heart both know
That it's time to let you go
'Cause it feels like we're on, we're on cruise control oh-oh-oh oh, oh-oh-oh oh
Why my friends better boyfriends than you?
