Teleprompter

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We were safe living in "the someday" Living in the "maybe not right now but if we wait" Push aside all of the "sometimes" We're starting to become these people we don't even recognise [Pre-Chorus] I push and pull I try to make excuses While I start to slip away I'm back and forth Weighing out my options Should I go or should I stay I need [Chorus] I need a teleprompter Something to tell me what to say The words to make this work Or words to make this a clean break I need a better writer One who's been through this before I don't know what to say no more [Verse 2] Compromise, dodging another fight Holding on to moments good enough for us to get by Kiss and lie, it always starts with other lies Tell each other absolutes when we're unsure inside [Pre-Chorus] I push and pull I try to make excuses While I start to slip away I'm back and forth Weighing out my options Should I go or should I stay I need [Chorus] I need a teleprompter Something to tell me what to say The words to make this work Or words to make this a clean break I need a better writer One who's been through this before I don't know what to say no more [Bridge] I don't wanna mess this up when we're already, already on the line I don't wanna mess this up but I can't pretend, can't pretend that we're fine I don't wanna mess this up when we're already, already on the line I don't wanna mess this up but I can't pretend, can't pretend that we're fine [Chorus] I need a teleprompter Something to tell me what to say The words to make this work Or words to make this a clean break I need a better writer One who's been through this before I don't know what to say no more
