[Chorus]
Heartbreak can wait
'Cause I'm too scared to let you go
Yeah, I know I gotta do this
But I'm makin' up excuses not to be alone

[Verse1]
Still haven't made it up the PCH
Still haven't kissed you in the pourin' rain
Birthday 'round the corner, couple weeks away
So I'm holdin' off
Things are goin' good, but they're not goin' great
You've been workin' hard and I've been workin' late
The words that I've been thinkin' I don't really wanna say
So I'm holdin' off

[Chorus]
Heartbreak can wait
'Cause I'm too scared to let you go
Yeah, I know I gotta do this
But I'm makin' up excuses not to be alone
Heartbreak can wait
But I don't wanna waste your time
So I'ma take your hand and hold it like I'm never lettin' go
Before I say goodbye
[Post-Chorus]
(Heartbreak can wait)

[Verse 2]
Haven't slept a second in the last seven nights
Livin' in my head, I'm rehearsin' every line
I know that there's no way that we're not gonna cry
So I'm holdin' off

[Pre-Chorus]
Desperate for my soul to softly say
"It's okay to stay a few more days"

[Chorus]
Heartbreak can wait
'Cause I'm too scared to let you go
Yeah, I know I gotta do this
But I'm makin' up excuses not to be alone
Heartbreak can wait
But I don't wanna waste your time
So I'ma take your hand and hold it like I'm never lettin' go
Before I say goodbye

[Bridge]
Wait a second, I feel like my stomach's in my throat
Why is it the ones you love, the ones you hurt the most
Went as far as I can run, but now I'm out of road
I gotta let you know, I gotta let you know
Wait a second, I feel like my stomach's in my throat
Why is it the ones you love, the ones you hurt the most
Went as far as I can run, but now I'm out of road
I gotta let you know, I gotta let you know
[Chorus]
But heartbreak can wait
'Cause I'm too scared to let you go
Yeah, I know I gotta do this
But I'm makin' up excuses not to be alone
