[Intro: Cassadee Pope & Jax]
I don't wanna say "I love you"
'Cause people that I love leave
That's all that I've ever seen
As soon as I hold on
That's when it all goes wrong
'Cause people that I love leave

[Verse 1: Cassadee Pope]
It's getting serious and seriously
Makes me curious why you're here with me
I point the finger and start questioning you
It's like, "Come on, am I the best you can do?"

[Pre-Chorus: Cassadee Pope]
Don't mean to be cruel, it's how I was taught
I came up different than you
I know you're confused but it's not about you
It's not somеthing you did, it's just not something I do

[Chorus: Cassadee Pope]
I don't wanna say "I love you"
'Cause pеople that I love leave
That's all that I've ever seen
As soon as I hold on
That's when it all goes wrong
'Cause people that I love leave
They move on and forget about me
That's how it'll always be
As soon as I hold on
That's when it all goes wrong
'Cause people that I love leave
[Verse 2: Jax]
I'm scared of jumping in the deep end
'Cause when I do I almost always drown
You could be everything I'm needing
I'm probably never gonna get to find out

[Pre-Chorus: Jax]
So don't wait around
For those three words to come out of my mouth
I know you're confused but it's not about you
It's not something you did, it's just not something I do

[Chorus: Cassadee Pope, Jax, Both]
I don't wanna say "I love you"
'Cause people that I love leave
That's all that I've ever seen
As soon as I hold on
That's when it all goes wrong
'Cause people that I love leave
They move on and forget about me
That's how it'll always be
As soon as I hold on
That's when it all goes wrong
'Cause people that I love leave

[Outro: Jax, Cassadee Pope, Both]
They always leave
They always leave
People that I love leave
The people that I love leave
The people that I love leave
The people that I love leave
