[Verse 1]
You’ve validated my neglect
And though I’m worthy of respect
I don’t think that I deserve it
It’s not that I can’t share my past
I just don’t like things going fast
Oh, but don’t just tolerate it

[Chorus]
Oh, I don’t know why
I’m so bad at figuring it out
‘Cause when it’s time to tell you how I’m feeling
I can almost hear the sound of you leaving
Yeah, when I’m ready to tell you how I’m feeling
You’ll be long gone

[Verse 2]
I think that you’ve been way too nice
And it was good to break the ice
But it’s not just the ice that’s broken

[Chorus]
Oh, I don’t know why
I’m so bad at letting it all out
‘Cause when it’s time to tell you how I’m feeling
I can almost hear the sound of you leaving
Yeah, when I’m ready to tell you how I’m feeling
You’ll be long gone
[Bridge]
Trying to move on
From that fool who led you on
But it’s not that simple, dear
Oh, I’m really trying here
Give me a week…
Maybe a year

[Chorus]
‘Cause I don’t know why
I’m so bad at figuring it out
And when it’s time to tell you how I’m feeling
How I dread the thought of you leaving
Yeah, when I’m ready to tell you how I’m feeling
Don’t be long gone
I won’t be ready to tell you how I’m feeling
Before you’re gone
