Love You (But I Don't)

Wish I could give you a reason

But I can't even make it make sense myself

'Cause you're perfect on paper

I honestly probably need some help

Bear with me for a minute

I'm in my head, just listen

I hate the sound of cliches

But I don't know how to say it any other way

How do I let you down easy?

Just say,"It's not you it's me"

"I think we should see other people"

"Right now I need to be single"

I could act like it's complicated

I could say, "We can still stay friends"

All the other sugar coat shit

But the truth is I wish I could love you but I don't

All my friends are gonna be pissed

Tell me I can't help myself

Always gotta go and ruin

What's right what's wrong with my mental health

They say in the end it will be worth it

They're tellin' me that I deserve this

I hate the sound of cliches

But I don't know how to say it any other way

How do I let you down easy?

Just say,"It's not you it's me"

"I think we should see other people"

"Right now I need to be single"

I could act like it's complicated

I could say, "We can still stay friends"

All the other sugar coat shit

But the truth is I wish I could love you but I don't,

I don't

You know when you know and I know I don't

Could string you along but baby I won't

You know, I know, I wish I could love you, love you

You know when you know and I know I don't

Could string you along but baby I won't

You know, I know, I wish I could love you, love you

How do I let you down easy?

Just say,"It's not you it's me"

"I think we should see other people"

"Right now I need to be single"

I could act like it's complicated

I could say, "We can still stay friends"

All the other sugar coat shit

But the truth is I wish I could love you but I don't,

I don't
