Baby, let's not start right now
'Cause I don't really want to make a mess of your heart right now
It's killing me to say what I know I should say
But I don't know the right words, time, or place
'Cause I know this is broken but we're still holding on
And the longer I wait, the more it starts to feel wrong
I wish that it was mutual, or I was just delusional
But it's gonna hurt before it heals
(And I don't think I'm ready to start)
Nobody wants to rip the band-aid off
But we can't move on 'til the bleeding stops
Nobody wants to get it over with when they're over it
Let 'em down way too soft
I hate to say it, we ain't gonna make it
But we try to fake it thinking maybe we'll save it
Nobody wants to rip the band-aid off
But we can't move on, so I guess that's on me
So I guess that's on me
(Nobody wants to, nobody wants to)
(Nobody wants to rip the band-aid off)
(Nobody wants to, nobody wants to)
(Nobody wants to rip the band-aid off)
Everybody goes through this
At some point I got to learn that it isn't worth making myself feel sick
And I wonder if what's holding us back is being happy versus taking the risk
Maybe I've been scared to have to live with the scars
And all the permanent marks it's gonna leave on your heart
I wish that it was mutual, or I was just delusional
Or that this could end before it starts
(And I don't think I'm ready to start)
Nobody wants to rip the band-aid off
But we can't move on 'til the bleeding stops
Nobody wants to get it over with when they're over it

But we try to fake it thinking maybe we'll save it
Nobody wants to rip the band-aid off
But we can't move on, so I guess that's on me
So I guess that's on me
(Nobody wants to, nobody wants to)
(Nobody wants to rip the band-aid off)
(Nobody wants to, nobody wants to)
(Nobody wants to rip the band-aid off)
Nobody wants to rip the band-aid off
But we can't move on 'til the bleeding stops
