[Verse 1]
What I've been trying to do is tell you I'm still scared
What I've been trying to hide is just how much I care
There's reasons for breaking our ties
And for telling you lies, I confess
What I've been trying to say is how I'm such a mess

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll be your favourite worst mistake
I'll be a memory, I'll be a ghost
You'll be a night to fill the space
You'll be a moment, then I'll go

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
How can I hold you so close
When I'm thinking of somebody else?
How can I treat you so right
When I know that you're only the help?
The reason you're here is to deal with my fear
I hate being alone
How can I do this to you
Yet you still always answer the phone?

[Instrumental]
