[Verse 1]
Everyone has someone that they'd wait for
That they'd cancel a first date for
At the drop of a pin
Just one "hey, how you been?"
Everyone's accepted someone's reasons
Knowing full well they don't mean 'em
Just to keep them around
No one's speaking about

[Chorus]
When you know you're going backwards and you're dancing there headfirst
You could stop it but you won't do and you know that and that's worse
That you know you have the option and you still choose getting hurt
You know you have the option and you still choose getting hurt

[Verse 2]
Everyone has somеone that they're missing
That thеy constantly think bout kissing
In the grocery line
In the back in the dead of the night
Everyone's accepted second place if
It means they're kept in the races
If you've still got a shot
You'll put up with a hell of a lot
[Chorus]
When you know that it was bullshit but you don't care cause it works
You could call it but you won't do and you know that and it's worse
That you know you have the option and you still choose getting hurt
You know you have the option and you still choose getting hurt

[Bridge]
Oh close your eyes and picture them
Close your eyes and picture them
Picture what you'd say if they were them
And you were your best friend
Close your eyes and picture them

[Chorus]
Oh you know you're going backwards and you're dancing there headfirst
You could stop it but you won't do and you know that and it's worse
That you know you have the option and you still choose getting hurt
You know you have the option and you still choose getting hurt
