I spot betrayal in those pretty eyes
Your lustful games to hypnotise
I walked a thousand miles for you
A fool badly burned through and through
I should walk away
It's only gonna break my heart
Why should I stay?
When I'm only gonna fall apart
Do they even care?
To see me in despair
Why should I stay?
It's only gonna break my heart
Social media saddens me
A broken algorithm of misery
I try to go my own way
But I'm back down the street of yesterday
They say I should walk away
It's only gonna break my heart
Why should I stay?
When I'm only gonna fall apart
Do they even care?
To see me in despair
Why should I stay?
It's only gonna break my heart
The truth always comes out in the end
On one hand I can count all of my friends
Karma is gonna come back at you and you
And there will be nothing you can do
You can do
Your skies we're so blue
I should walk away
It's only gonna break my heart
Why should I stay?
When love will tear us apart
Do they even care?
To see me in despair
Why should I stay?
When it's only gonna break my heart
It's only gonna break my heart
It's only gonna tear us apart
And love will tear us apart
Again, again, again, again
It's only gonna break my heart
