I hate the things pain makes me wanna do
Oh this wasn't the tune I was hoping to write for you
Bet you were afraid of the things you thought we could be
That you took back every piece you laid down for me

Thought I was so quiet
Thought I was so quiet 'bout you
But a mind can't stop a heart from running away too soon
'Cause it'll escape and settle down in places it don't belong
Hell in places that don't even exist at all

Let me fall
I don't need careful hands to let me down easy
Just let me go
I don't need you to drag this out you know you're free to leave me

It's not that I wanted you to be my everything
Just something to help me believe
There's something left for me
It's not that I thought you'd be the one to silence all my fears
But you just made 'em louder
And now the truth's getting hard to hear

Let me fall
I don't need careful hands to let me down easy
Just let me go
I don't need you to drag this out you know you're free to leave me

I'll listen to sad songs if I want
I'll tell you what you did was wrong
You don't know me enough to know what I want

I'll listen to sad songs if I want
I'll tell you what you did was wrong
You don't know me enough to know what I want

Thought I was so quiet
Thought I was so quiet bout you
But a mind can't stop a heart from running away too soon

Thought I was so quiet
Thought I was so quiet bout you
But a mind can't stop a heart from running away too soon

Let me fall
I don't need careful hands to let me down easy
Just let me go
I don't need you to drag this out you know you're free to leave me
