Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts

Flashbacks waking me up

I get drunk, but it' s not enough

' Cause the morning comes and you' re not my baby

I look through the windows of this love

Even though we boarded them up

Chandelier still flickering here

' Cause I can' t pretend it' s okay when it' s not
