[Verse 1]
Why should I stick around when all I do is let you down?
Can I ask you a question?
When you see my reflection
Do you see good intentions
Where I see no progression?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Speak soft, speak soft your forgiveness
Tell me lies, tell me that I deserve it
Speak soft, speak soft say I'm perfect
That every promise that I break is worth it

[Chorus]
Why should I stick around when all I do is let you down?
I'm bad news, you can't deceive me
I'd never choose to be me

[Verse 2]
Can I give you an answer?
We're beauty and the cancer
You're an always shining silver lining
And I'm a fucking born disaster

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Speak soft, speak soft of your patience
Tell me how I'm distant and complacent
Speak soft, speak soft your frustration
Unacquainted with your expectations
[Chorus]
Why should I stick around when all I do is let you down?
I'm bad news, you can't deceive me
I'd never choose to be me

[Bridge]
Seems all I know is what I'm not
Speak soft, speak soft
I can't seem to find the words
To remedy how bad this hurts
Seems all I know is what I'm not
Speak soft, speak soft
When you're staring down a loaded gun
You know you won't fall back on love
Seems all I know is what I'm not
I can't seem to find the words
To remedy how bad this hurts
When you're staring down a loaded gun
Can anyone fall back on love?
Can anyone fall back on love?
Can anyone fall back on love?

Speak soft, speak soft

[Chorus]
Why should I stick around when all I do is let you down?
I'm bad news, you can't deceive me
I'd never choose to be me
