Verse 1:
So bittersweet you almost taste it
The minute that I came to say goodbye
Some things you try but you can’t change them
I wish that I could hold you one more time

Pre-chorus:
Look towards the dawn you’ll see me smiling down at you if you try to
And after-all
I’ll remind you

Chorus:
Slow down, don’t hate me
I won’t lie you won’t make me
I never tried to be your lover
I just tried to stay
You left me anyways

Verse 2:
Not far at all but you can’t go there
A breathless sigh away from by my side
Unfinished lies beneath the cold air
Too many broken bones to stand upright

Pre-chorus:
Look towards the dawn you’ll see me smiling down at you if you try to
And after-all
I’ll remind you
Chorus:
Slow down, don’t hate me
I won’t lie you won’t make me
I never tried to be your lover
I just tried to stay
You left me anyways

Bridge:
And I know, I know, you never meant to be the criminal
And it’s so, sooo, so hard to bear
But even though, oh, you went and left me all alone I found my way
Found my way home

Chorus:
Slow down, don’t hate me
I won’t lie you won’t make me
I never tried to be your lover
I just tried to stay
You left me anyways
