[Verse 1]
Why don't we put on the brakes
Before we go the wrong way?
I just don't think we should stay in the game that will lead to pretend
Why don't we pull up the shade
Before we drown in this mess that we made?
I just don't think we should stay spinnin' 'round in these circles again

[Chorus]
And baby, I don't have the time to miss you
And baby, you don't have the time to miss me
Don't want us playing pretenders
But you will thank me later
And I don't wanna be the one to fake this
You don't wanna be the one to face it
I'm sorry to be the heartbreaker
But you will thank me later

[Post-Chorus]
You will thank me later

[Verse 2]
Maybe it is what it is
Oh, we just got lost in the bliss
Now we need to wake from this dream of a place that'll just never be
[Chorus]
Baby, I don't have the time to miss you
And baby, you don't have the time to miss me
Don't want us playing pretenders
But you will thank me later
And I don't wanna be the one to fake this
You don't wanna be the one to face it
I'm sorry to be the heartbreaker
But you will thank me later

[Post-Chorus]
You will thank me later, oh yeah

[Verse 3]
I don't wanna waste no more time
Take up precious space in your mind
I ain't gonna act like we're fine
Oh, we just need to look at the signs

[Chorus]
And baby, I don't have the time to miss you
And baby, you don't have the time to miss me
Don't want us playing pretenders
But you will thank me later
I don't wanna be the one to fake this
You don't wanna be the one to face it
I'm sorry to be the heartbreaker
But you will thank me later
[Post-Chorus]
You will thank me later, baby, I know you will, oh
