[Verse 1] I saw you cleaned the kitchen when I got home Could be your way of admitting you were wrong These last few months I kinda learned the hard way To not wait around for clues before a word that proves your love, no First time I'm second guessing what we are What I considered a blessing Thought my strength was expressing what I feel But it's messing you up, you up [Chorus] Oh, why do I have to rip out my heart for you To go and finally let down your guard? Heaven knows I'm losing patience You only open up on the vergе of breaking up You pull back, I put myself on the linе Push too far like I do every time But you leave me no choice 'Cause you only open up on the verge of breaking up [Verse 2] We talked about the past, you think it shaped you And I guess I understand the way you feel Try to meet you in the same way that our hands do But I can barely bridge a gap if you're forever holding back, no Not the first time I'm overcompensating Not the last time you leave me speculating And I wonder where it ends And I wonder where it leaves us 'Cause enough is enough [Chorus] Oh, why do I have to rip out my heart for you To go and finally let down your guard? Heaven knows I'm losing patience You only open up on the verge of breaking up You pull back, I put myself on the line Push too far like I do every time But you leave me no choice 'Cause you only open up on the verge of breaking up [Bridge] I tried to leave it, I tried to put on hold Tried to believe that it doesn't matter at all I tried to think that, that I don't care But you only open up on the verge of breaking up, oh I tried to get it, tried to understand I tried to comprehend it, but I just don't get it all I just don't get it, tried to understand But I don't and I won't and I won't, no, no [Chorus] Oh, why do I have to rip out my heart for you To go and finally let down your guard? Heaven knows I'm losing patience You only open up on the verge of breaking up You pull back, I put myself on the line Push too far like I do every time But you leave me no choice 'Cause you only open up on the verge of breaking up
