[Verse 1]
I ain't the kind to run away
I ain't the kind to make you stay
'Cause I'm just gonna break your heart
Or you'll break mine, I know this part
So I think it's time to run away

[Chorus]
Why do I pick myself up just to get torn down?
I keep kicking my own ass just to come back another round
And it feels like I can't help myself with setting up to fail
If you need me, I'll be wasting my time
Chasing my tail
Chasing my tail

[Verse 2]
So go ahead and end things first
'Cause I tend to wait until it hurts
And the version of me that you get
Will always just be second best
And I hope that you don't wait to see my worst

[Chorus]
Why do I pick myself up just to get torn down?
I keep kicking my own ass just to come back another round
And it feels like I can't help myself with setting up to fail
If you need me, I'll be wasting my timе
Chasing my tail
Chasing my tail
[Bridge]
So honey, don't feel sorry for me
'Cause I can do that all by mysеlf
I'll keep running around in circles
Till you leave me standing still
Oh

[Chorus]
Why do I pick myself up just to get torn down?
I keep kicking my own ass just to come back another round
And it feels like I can't help myself with setting up to fail
If you need me, I'll be wasting my time
Oh, if you need me, I'll be wasting my time
