[Verse 1]

This doesn't feel right, though it did at the time

Now I’m looking back thinking, "How did I get here?"

In the lows and the highs, told a thousand little lies

Trying to convince myself it's worth it

[Pre-Chorus]

I covered it up for so long

I can't make right what’s wrong

[Chorus]

Every time I try again to fake it

Know it gets a little harder

And harder to mean what I say

Lord, I know my heart, it just can't take it

And it beats a little harder

It gets harder to go my own way

Ain't nothing more to say

I know it's better if my heart breaks

[Verse 2]

I played along like a familiar song

It's safer in the warm than out in the rain

I gave you my all, threw myself against the wall

And after that, I still got nothing, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

Why do goodbyes take so long?

When you can't make right what's wrong, oh

[Chorus]

Every time I try again to fake it

Know it gets a little harder

And harder to mean what I say

Lord, I know my heart, it just can't take it

And it beats a little harder

It gets harder to go my own way

Ain’t nothing more to say

I know it’s better if my heart breaks

[Bridge]

And that's all, bye, goodbye

’Cause I know you'll be alright

You'll find another

I gave you all the best of me

But I never found the best in me

Mm, mm-mm-mm

[Chorus]

Every time I try again to fake it

Know it gets a little harder

And harder to mean what I say

Lord, I know my heart, it just can't take it

And it beats a little harder

It gets harder to go my own way

Ain’t nothing more to say

I know it's better my heart breaks
