I know it won't work Lyrics

I left you here, a radio keeps the extra closet empty
In case, this year, I come back and stay through all my twenties
What if I won′t? How am I supposed to put that gently?
And down the road, you will love me until you resent me, mmh

I've had the thought, tried to work it out through anxious pacing
What if I′m not worth the time and breath I know you're saving?
But it's a lot, all the shine of half a decade fading
The whole facade seem to fall, but it′s complicated, mmh

And part of me wants to walk away ′til you really listen
I hate to look in your face and know that we're feeling different
′Cause part of me wants you back, but
I know it won't work like that, huh

Why won′t you try moving on for once? That might make it easy
I know we cut all the ties, but you're never really leaving
And part of me wants you back, but
I know it won′t work like that, huh

I know it won't work like that

I'll open up and think in everything you wish I wasn′t
The call was tough, but you′re better off, I'm being honest
So won′t you stop holding out for me when I don't want it?
Just brush me off ′cause I'm your ghost right now, your house is haunted

A part of me wants to walk away ′til you really listen
I hate to look in your face and know that we're feeling different
'Cause part of me wants you back, but
I know it won′t work like that, huh

Why won′t you try moving on for once? That might make it easy
I know we cut all the ties, but you're never really leaving
And part of me wants you back, but
I know it won′t work like that, huh (oh-oh, oh-oh)

I know it won't work like that, huh (oh-oh, oh-oh)
I know it won′t work like that, huh

And part of me wants to walk away 'til you really listen
I hate to look in your face and know that we′re feeling different
'Cause part of me wants you back, but
I know it won't work like that, huh

Why won′t you try moving on for once? That might make it easy
I know we cut all the ties, but you′re never really leaving
A part of me wants you back, but
I know it won't work like that, huh
