Did you forget when I tried to settle you down
And talk it through?
You said your worst and I heard you
And I hurt too
You turned around when I said, "stay"
Without a sound
When I said, "Wait, just hear me out" (hear me out)
And you said nothing

Now you reach out your hands
You know it's late
And I understand
You thought I'd wait

I don't wanna talk about your feelings
I don't wanna listen as you feel 'em
Didn't someone teach when you leave what you have
You can't take it back?
Oh no, it doesn't work like that
Feelings could set me back if I believed 'em
Didn't someone teach when you leave what you have
You can't take it back?
Oh no, it doesn't work like that

I guess they always come around
Tell you everything they've found
Tell you, you're the only one who can save 'em
Tell you they're different now
Blame it on the timing
Like the planets not aligning

I guess they feel it when it's gone
When you're finally movin' on
When they know you've stopped believing
They'll ever be what you want
They blame it on the timing
When they found their silver lining

Then they reach out their hands
They know it's late
And you understand
They thought you'd wait

I don't wanna talk about your feelings
I don't wanna listen as you feel 'em
Didn't someone teach when you leave what you have
You can't take it back?
Oh no, it doesn't work like that
Feelings could set me back if I believed 'em
Didn't someone teach when you leave what you have
You can't take it back?
Oh no, it doesn't work like that

I wish you'd known then
What you say you know now
But you didn't

So I don't wanna talk about your feelings
I don't wanna listen as you feel 'em
Didn't someone teach when you leave what you have
You can't take it back?
Oh no, it doesn't work like that
Feelings could set me back if I believed 'em
Didn't someone teach when you leave what you have
You can't take it back?
Oh no, it doesn't work like that

I guess they always come around
Tell you everything they've found
Tell you, you're the only one can save 'em
Tell you they're different now
They blame it on the timing
Like the planets not aligning

I guess they feel it when it's gone
When you're finally movin' on
When they know you've stopped believing
They'll ever be what you want
Then they blame it on the timing
When they found their silver lining
