[Verse 1]
I didn't ask
For a key to your apartment
Yeah, I stayed the farthest from moving too fast
But you still got carsick
I didn't ask
For too much attention
Or ask you to mention the names of your past
But you stay defensive

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm losing focus
And I need to know if you're loving or letting me go
But, please

[Chorus]
Don't let me hold you so close
Just to go rip it right out of my hands
I feel stupid 'cause I should've known
I was chasing ghosts
Down all your roads
Let's skip the part where I wish you were dead
Instead, I'll just wish you the best

[Verse 2]
And I guess I just need some time to think
Cut loose of all the strings you tied to me
So I can finally sleep instead of checking if you answered
(Why'd you never answer)
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't keep defending you from all my friends
When they say you're no good for me

[Chorus]
So don't let me hold you so close
Just to go rip it right out of my hands
I feel stupid 'cause I should've known
I was chasing ghosts
Down all your roads
Let's skip the part where I wish you were dead
Instead, I'll just wish you the best

[Outro]
Oh, oh-oh, oh
So don't let me hold you so close
Let's skip the part where I wish you were dead
Instead, I'll just wish you the best
