I Didn't Want It This Way
[Chorus]
I didn't want it this way, holding on to you
Pissed that it was either that or letting go
No, I don't wanna mistake it for something it isn't
If I'm pulling back, I should let you know
[Post-Chorus]
I didn't want it this way
I didn't want it this way
I only wanted to say
Hope you know that I didn't want it this way
[Verse 1]
Baby, it's so hard to say, I know
When I feel like I'm the one you're getting over
But I gotta say it if you won't, won't
Why you leave it up to me to choose?
That ain't never something I should have to do for you
Why you too afraid of cutting loose?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, 'cause it's easy choosing you, but hard not knowing
Knowing where we're at or where we're going
Hope you know that
[Chorus]
I didn't want it this way, holding on to you
Pissed that it was either that or letting go
No, I don't wanna mistake it for something it isn't
If I'm pulling back, I should let you know
[Post-Chorus]
I didn't want it this way
I didn't want it this way
I only wanted to say
Hope you know that I didn't want it this way
[Verse 2]
Do you even notice
That I never call back right away?
Do I have to show it
These days, I hate to overstay, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause it's easy choosing you, but hard not knowing
Knowing where we're at or where we're going
Hope you know that
[Chorus]
I didn't want it this way, holding on to you
Pissed that it was either that or letting go
No, I don't wanna mistake it for something it isn't
If I'm pulling back, I should let you know
[Post-Chorus]
I didn't want it this way (I hope you know I didn't)
I didn't want it this way (I hope you know I didn't)
I only wanted to say
Hope you know that I didn't want it this way
(I hope you know I didn't want it)
(I hope you know I didn't want it)
(I hope you know I didn't want it)
I didn't want it this way, holding on to you
Pissed that it was either that or letting go
No, I don't wanna mistake it for something it isn't
If I'm pulling back, I should let you know
[Post-Chorus]
I didn't want it this way
I didn't want it this way
I only wanted to say
Hope you know that I didn't want it this way
[Verse 1]
Baby, it's so hard to say, I know
When I feel like I'm the one you're getting over
But I gotta say it if you won't, won't
Why you leave it up to me to choose?
That ain't never something I should have to do for you
Why you too afraid of cutting loose?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, 'cause it's easy choosing you, but hard not knowing
Knowing where we're at or where we're going
Hope you know that
[Chorus]
I didn't want it this way, holding on to you
Pissed that it was either that or letting go
No, I don't wanna mistake it for something it isn't
If I'm pulling back, I should let you know
[Post-Chorus]
I didn't want it this way
I didn't want it this way
I only wanted to say
Hope you know that I didn't want it this way
[Verse 2]

(I hope you know I didn't want it)
(I hope you know I didn't want it)
(I hope you know I didn't want it)
