She is dressed to kill

He's a nervous wreck

He's got his best jacket on

And a tie around his neck

He's the perfect gentleman

Deep in conversation

He only wants to be her everything


So we go through the motions 

Leaving you hopeless

I'll break you with these tired eyes in good time


It's 3 am and I'm outside of your window

Screaming my lungs out

Cause I want the world to know

This is how you fall apart

You've got me in pieces

Yeah we grew apart

I know I gave you reasons


So we go through the motions 

Leaving you hopeless

I'll break you with these tired eyes in good time

Brace yourself

You know what's coming now

I could have been your only way out


So you think you've got me figured out

What I'm all about

Was it easy enough for you?

This time, we lied, to ourselves 

(We finally figured out)

We get along like a house on fire

We get along like a house on fire


So we go through the motions 

Leaving you hopeless

I'll break you with these tired eyes in good time

Brace yourself

You know what's coming now

I could have been your only way out


I can't wait on you forever

I can't wait on you forever

So long

So long

So long

So long
