[Verse 1]
You bring me coffee in that chipped blue cup
Ask about my day like it still lights me up
I smile on cue
But I'm somewhere else
Counting all the questions I don't wanna ask
Saving every text
Like a photograph
Of a house I knew
That I don't wanna sell
[Chorus]
I'm looking for a way out
That doesn't make you break down
Some easy little reason
We can blame it on
Like "we just grew apart"
Not "I walked off with your heart"
I care about you so loud
While I’m looking for a way out (oh)
Looking for a way out
[Verse 2]
You say "love you" and it feels rehearsed
I say it back softer
Like it might hurt less
If I fade first
If I turn down slow
I wish you'd start a fight over something small
Give me one clean cut
Make me take the fall
So I don't have to
Be the one to go
[Chorus]
I'm looking for a way out
That doesn't make you break down
Some easy little reason
We can blame it on
Like "we just grew apart"
Not "I walked off with your heart"
I care about you so loud
While I’m looking for a way out (yeah)
Looking for a way out
[Bridge]
If you ask me straight
Would I tell the truth?
That I love the person
But I’m leaving the us
Leaving the two
If you packed your bags
I’d help you zip them tight
’Cause I’m too tired to be the storm
That ends your quiet life
[Chorus]
I’m looking for a way out
That doesn’t make you break down
Some easy little reason
We can blame it on
You deserve a clean break
Not this half-held handshake
I care about you so loud
While I’m looking for a way out
(Still looking for a way out)
