Lyrics to I Know It Won't Work
I left you here
A radio keeps the extra closet empty
In case this year
I come back and stay through all my twenties
What if I won't
How am I supposed to put that gently?
And down the road
You will love me until you resent me, mmm
I've had the thought
Tried to work it out through anxious pacin'
What if I'm not
Worth the time and breath I know you're savin'
But it's a lot
All the shine of half a decade fadin'
The whole facade
Seem to fall, but it's complicated, mmm
A part of me wants to walk away 'til you really wishin'
I hate to look in your face and know that we're feelin' different
'Cause part of me wants you back, but
I know it won't work like that, huh
Why won't try movin' on for once? That might make it easy
I know we cut all the ties, but you're never really leavin'
And part of me wants you back, but
I know it won't work like that, huh
I know it won't work like that
I'll open up
And thinkin' everythin' you wish I wasn't
The call was tough
But you're better off, I'm bein' honest
So, won't you stop
Holdin' out for me when I don't want it?
Just brush me off
'Cause I'm your ghost right now, your house is haunted
A part of me wants to walk away 'til you really wishin'
I hate to look in your face and know that we're feelin' different
'Cause part of me wants you back, but
I know it won't work like that, huh
Why won't try movin' on for once? That might make it easy
I know we cut all the ties, but you're never really leavin'
And part of me wants you back, but
I know it won't work like that, huh (Oh-oh-oh)
I know it won't work like that, huh (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
A part of me wants to walk away 'til you really wishin'
I hate to look in your face and know that we're feelin' different
'Cause part of me wants you back, but
I know it won't work like that, huh
Why won't try movin' on for once? That might make it easy
I know we cut all the ties, but you're never really leavin'
And part of me wants you back, but
I know it won't work like that, huh
A radio keeps the extra closet empty
In case this year
I come back and stay through all my twenties
What if I won't
How am I supposed to put that gently?
