As recorded by Kelsea Ballerini (2024 release) [Intro] D [Verse 1]
D
I have a nasty habit leaving before I get left

                                                       G
Will think my light's on yellow and I'm keeping you on red

G
Stonewall my emotions even when I wanna

                                            D
Wanna cry tears as wide as the oceans but I don't

D
When fights too many 3 A.M.'s, I guess we're broken up

D
You're like, "This is just a conversation," baby, what the—?

G
Now screaming goodbye out, which means I love you

                                   A
Internal warfares is what I always do
[Pre-Chorus]
A
Now I'm watching you

             G
It's hitting different now but I'm telling myself
[Chorus]
D
I'm better on my own, I'm better on my own

D
Wait

        G
Don't go

G
It's all I've ever know, it's all I've ever know

G
Wait

        D
Don't go
[Post-Chorus]
D
Can I take you back now?

D
Can we make it last now?
[Verse 2]
D
I'm codependent with my independence through and through

                                                         G
My September makes me stubborn but it's fighting with my moon

G
When I said just leaving I was only fishing

G
How stupid of me to think you wouldn't listen

D
Now you're packing up your t-shirts but I want 'em in the drawer

                                                     G
Can't get myself to say "Stay" before you're out the door

G
But time and tensions blurring my vision and so once again

G
My head and heart are at war
[Chorus]
D
I'm better on my own, I'm better on my own

D
Wait

        G
Don't go

G
It's all I've ever know, it's all I've ever know

G
Wait

        D
Don't go

D
I'm screaming on the phone, I'm screaming on the phone

D
Wait

        G
Don't go

G
You're all I wanna know, you're all I wanna know

G
Wait

G
Don't go
[Bridge]
                Bm
If I drive you away, will it cut like a blade?

                  D
Will it carry the same weight?

                  G
At the end of the day I'm just a girl

G
I'm afraid, turn around, hit the brakes

G
Ooh, and now you got me
[Chorus]
    D
I'm screaming on the phone, I'm screaming on the phone

D
Wait (Can I take you back now?)

                                   G
Don't go (Can we make it last now?)

G
You're all I wanna know, you're all I wanna know

    G
Wait

G        D
Don't go
[Outro]
G
Can I take you back now?

                          D
Can we make it last now?

G
Can I take the past?

G
Just the patterns of my past so
N.C. Wait
