I'm getting better at letting go Sometimes I grip too hard But we've held hands for too long and I'm feeling torn Stuck in traffic at a crossroad Under streetlights when we walk home Sitting by the windowsill The breeze pulls on your hair I daydreamed of days spent with you But know you never care Tearing off this band-aid that I wear every day Say what you want me to be, 'cause I'm just fine The only time I tore my skin was when I let you in Say what you want me to be, I'll be alright I'll be alright You were the deep-end in a shallow pool Not much for a personality Just pretending that you love me It only stings for a little bit when I'm pulling you off my skin And the off-white tone of the window sill that I know you sit by still Waiting for me all alone
But I'm never coming home Tearing off this band-aid that I wear every day Say what you want me to be, 'cause I'm just fine The only time I tore my skin was when I let you in Say what you want me to be, I'll be alright It's easy to see with hindsight I should have known better I should have known Everything heals with time And I've wasted long enough with you There's nothing I can do I'm better off with this scar tissue Tearing off this band-aid that I wear every day Say what you want me to be, 'cause I'm just fine The only time I tore my skin was when I let you in Say what you want me to be, I'll be alright I'll be alright Say what you want me to be, I'll be alright I'll be alright Say what you want me to be, I'll be alright
