[Intro]
I ain't the kind to run away
I ain't the kind to make you stay
Cause I'm just gonna break your heart
And you'll break mine I know this part
So I think it's time to run away

[Chorus]
Why do I pick myself up
Just to get thrown down
I keep kicking my own ass just to come back another round
And it feels like I can't help myself with setting up to fail
If you need me I'll be wasting my time
Chasing my tail
Chasing my tail

[Verse]
So go ahead and end things first
Cause I tend to wait until it hurts
And the version of me that you get will always just be second best
And I hope that you don't wait to see my worst

[Chorus]
Why do I pick myself up
Just to get thrown down
I keep kicking my own ass just to come back another round
And it feels like I can't help myself with setting up to fail
If you need me I'll be wasting my time
Chasing my tail
Chasing my tail
[Bridge]
So honey don't feel sorry for me
Cause I can do that all by myself
I'll keep running around in circles
Till you leave me standing still, oh

[Chorus]
Why do I pick myself up
Just to get thrown down
I keep kicking my own ass just to come back another round
And it feels like I can't help myself with setting up to fail
If you need me I'll be wasting my time
Oh if you need me I'll be wasting my time
