  • I don't say what I mean
    I don't mean what I say
    It's almost like it ain't me that keeps pushing you away
    How many nights have you laid here with me feeling like I left?
    Waking up in a stranger's bed
    Don't know how I got lost
    I don't know how to get back
    Don't know how you haven't hit the door with your bags all packed
    Every morning I hear you pray for the old me instead
    Of waking up in a stranger's bed

    I'm gonna run straight back to us, baby
    No more same old someone else
    Back to the one you used to love like crazy
    Maybe you'll save me from myself
    When the sun comes around again
    You won't be waking up in a stranger's bed

    I know I say too little, yeah I'm gone too much
    I don't even remember the last time we touched
    Every night it's like you're sleeping with someone you've never met
    And waking up in a stranger's bed
    I remember the words that you haven't heard for so long
    You're not gone yet

    I'm gonna run straight back to us, baby
    No more same old someone else
    Back to the one you used to love like crazy
    Maybe you'll save me from myself
    When the sun comes around again
    You won't be waking up in a stranger's bed
    Oh no, oh woah

    I don't say what I mean
    I don't mean what I say
    It's almost like it ain't me that keeps pushing you away

    I'm gonna run straight back to us, baby
    No more same old someone else
    Back to the one you used to love like crazy
    Maybe you'll save me from myself
    Well, I'm gonna run back to us, baby
    No more same old someone else
    Back to the one you used to love like crazy
    Maybe you'll save me from myself
    When the sun comes around again
    You won't be waking up in a stranger's bed
