[Verse 1]
I knew it was over when the fighting stopped
You were too checked out, you just gave up
But I stayed, didn't wanna let it end that way
So we went back and forth for months
Too afraid to cut our losses and walk
There was only so much we could take

[Pre-Chorus]
It's like we're lying on the beach and the tide is at our feet
It will soon be at our heads and take our breath so

[Chorus]
I don't wanna say it but somebody's gotta say that it's over
Seeing you defeated doesn't bring me any closer to closure
I am acting out of self defence, I am all out of options
I don't wanna say it but somebody's gotta say that it's over

[Verse 2]
The strain of time tore us apart
It's not what we want but it's where we are
And I, I know the fault is partly mine
I miss those nights when we talked for hours
About our dreams and our desires
But all that's gone, all that's left is bitterness
[Chorus]
I don't wanna say it but somebody's gotta say that it's over
Seeing you defeated doesn't bring me any closer to closure
I am acting out of self defence, I am all out of options
I don't wanna say it but somebody's gotta say that it's over

[Bridge]
I can hate myself for this
You can say that I'm a selfish prick
It doesn't change my mind
With both our backs against the wall
Someone's gotta take the fall
So I'll be first to cross the line

[Chorus]
I don't wanna say it but somebody's gotta say that it's over
Seeing you defeated doesn't bring me any closer to closure
I am acting out of self defence, I am all out of options
I don't wanna say it but somebody's gotta say that it's over
