wait

Kelsea Ballerini

I have a nasty habit leaving before I get left
Will think my light s on yellow and I m keeping you on red
Stonewall my emotions even when I wanna
Wanna cry tears as wide as the oceans, but I don t
When fights too many 3 AM s, I guess we re broken up
You re like: This is just a conversation, baby, what the?
Now screaming goodbye out, which means I love you
Internal warfares what I always do

Now I m watching you
It s hitting different now, but I m telling myself

I m better on my own, I m better on my own
Wait
Don t go
It s all I ve ever known, it s all I ve ever know
Wait
Don t go

Can I take you back now?
Can we make it last now?

I m codependent with my independence through and through
My September makes me stubborn
but it s fighting with my Moon
When I said just leaving, I was only fishing
How stupid of me to think you wouldn t listen
Now you re packing up your t-shirts
but I want em in the drawer
Can t get myself to say stay before you re out the door
But time and tensions blurring my vision and so once again
My head and heart are at war

I m better on my own, I m better on my own
Wait
Don t go
It s all I ve ever known, it s all I ve ever know
Wait
Don t go
I m screaming on the phone, I m screaming on the phone
Wait
Don t go
You re all I wanna know, you re all I wanna know
Wait
Don t go

If I drive you away, will it cut like a blade?
Will it carry the same weight?
At the end of the day, I m just a girl
I m afraid, turn around, hit the brakes
Ooh, and now you got me

I m screaming on the phone, I m screaming on the phone
Wait (can I take you back now?)
Don t go (can we make it last now?)
You re all I wanna know, you re all I wanna know
Wait
Don t go

Can I take you back now?
Can we make it last now?
Can I take the past?
Just the patterns of my past so
Wait
