I hate those days that keep going and going
We just talk but we never agree
I see your face like you’re going through motions
This is more than I wanted to be
And every time I say it’s just another phase
It’s more than I believe
When you look in my eyes do you think
It’d be so lovely darling if we party
I don’t wanna stay
Don’t be so disappointed, that’s just boring
Go your separate ways
Find someone else to bury yourself in
I swear you’ll be okay
Just leave me broken heart
Just take that part of me
When we both go out and you glance around
Is it me that you’re wanting to see
Or is there someone that you’re waiting on
Is it more than I’d ever believe
When you look in my eyes do you think
It’d be so lovely darling if we party
I don’t wanna stay (I don’t wanna stay)
Don’t be so disappointed, that’s just boring
Go your separate ways (Go your separate ways)
Find someone else to bury yourself in
I swear you’ll be okay
Just leave me broken heart
Just take that part of me
Take that part of me
Take that part of me
Won’t you take that part of me
Lovely darling if we party
I don’t wanna stay
Don’t be so disappointed, that’s just boring
Go your separate ways
It’d be so lovely darling if we party
I don’t wanna stay (I don’t wanna stay)
Don’t be so disappointed, that’s just boring
Go your separate ways (Go your separate ways)
Find someone else to bury yourself in
I swear you’ll be okay
Just leave me broken heart
Just take that part of me
Take that part of me
