Too many times I been through this
It always ends the same
I m gonna let you go before this love will turn to hate
You re gonna ask me why and I ll have nothing good to say
You re gonna be another one, the one that got away

So what do you do when you break a heart
And you know it was your fault from the start
I m runnin and runnin out of excuses
I m wondering why do I always do this

Always lettin em down before it starts
Well maybe I m just broken through and through yeah
Always been on me, it s not on you yeah

Maybe my baggage would feel a little lighter
