Avoidant Lyrics

Whoever hurt you Don't love like I do I've kept my hand in the pot For way too long 'til it falls off What are you hiding? The teeth I'm pulling I've kept my arms ajar While you took the car to keep fighting Push and pull, like tug-of-war, when you Leave, I know it's never long 'til you Fall back on your face, why don't you just hold me? I'm no psychic, what you thinking? But I predict that you'll be leaving But don't learn here, just to give her there I worked for this And you never wanted my love anyway A detrimental game you play I can't wait here forever It's true, I probably could find better But I'm asking you to step it up Don't hurt me like they did to you What are your secrets? Are they worth keeping? Just let your guard disintegrate Tell me all the ways you're feeling What are you fearing? That I'll be leaving? The more you stitch your lips until nothing slips I could see it Push and pull, like tug-of-war, when you Leave, it brings me to the edge of doom Next time you fall on your knees, I won't heal you I'm no psychic, I don't know if you'll Fight for this, or fight yourself 'Cause the next time I hear you yell at me, I am runnin' 'Cause you never wanted my love anyway A detrimental game you play I won't wait here forever It's true, I probably could find better But I think I'm better off alone I've dealt with ones just like you If the fall of our memory comes to be true Then I'll know I did everything I could do To show you the depth of what love can pursue, ooh When you're out there, talking to someone new Think of everything that I have given you Maybe she can get some of that too That's what my love can do
