Verse 1:
You thought you’d let yourself fall/
To avoid all the pain of being let down/
And you thought that you’d never take a risk at all/
To avoid all the pain of being proven wrong/
Chorus:
So tell me what you’ll do on the weekend/x2/ you already know ‘cause all you do is sleep alone/
Verse 2:
You thought you had it all figured out/
Even if you didn’t live by what you’d say/
But I think that you’re wallowing in fanciful creations that just are not true/
May seem odd when I’d ask of you/
Chorus.
Verse 3:
I went to my brother’s house/
I’m just trying to figure him out/
He said “little brother I’ve got some years on you/
So I’ll let you in on something I’ve thought carefully through/
Bridge:
Even when I love someone I just can’t let it be/
For when I truly love someone I can’t bear to see them waste their time with me”/
Verse 4:
But I think that you paint yourself the martyr/
Only because being vulnerable is even harder/
Chorus.
