[Verse 1]
The writing's on the wall
And the ink's on my hands
And I've been trying to put this off
But I know that I can't

[Pre-Chorus]
And what do you do when it won't work?
Where do you go when it just hurts?
And why does it always seem to end up just like this?

[Chorus]
'Cause we both know
That this is never gonna work
And I just hope
You find someone who puts you first
Who keeps you close
Who knows your heart and sees your worth
Who won't let go
'Cause, oh, well I know you deserve
Someone so much better
'Cause I'm someone who could never come close

[Verse 2]
Don't tell me you're surprised
'Cause I know that you're not
I could see it in your eyes
From the day that we started
[Pre-Chorus]
And what do you do when it's okay?
No reason to go, but none to stay
Somehow it always seems to end up just like this

[Chorus]
'Cause we both know
That this is never gonna work
And I just hope
You find someone who puts you first
Who keeps you close
Who knows your heart and sees your worth
Who won't let go
'Cause, oh, well I know you deserve
Someone so much better
'Cause I'm someone who could never come close

[Outro]
'Cause, oh, well I know you deserve
Someone so much better
'Cause I'm someone who could never come close
