Better Than a Heartbreak Lyrics

Don't you know that you're dangerous

You sit too close and the line between friendship and feelings starts to fade

So I move away

My friends say I'm a pessimist

I try to stop, but I can't quit

Running through hypotheticals where you break my heart

Oh, I bite my tongue and hold it in

I'm never speaking up again

I only get denied

Don't sympathize with me

Cause it's harder to fall when you're always on the ground

And it's harder to break when you live like you're already broken

I know I could love you forever and a day

It's torture to refrain

But it's better than a heartbreak

I know you know how I'm holding back

Just don't know how you could love me like that

Am I fabricating clues

Or am I onto you

I look for signs in your subtleties

Like how you say you've always wanted to leave

Well, is it me you want to leave

I wouldn't blame you if that was true

Cause it's harder to fall when you're always on the ground

And it's harder to break when you live like you're already broken

I know I could love you forever and a day

It's torture to refrain

Oh, but it's better than a heartbreak

Bite my tongue and hold it in I'm never speaking up again

Things I've never felt before it's getting harder to ignore

Part of me would tell you now, expose the truth and talk it out

I'm scared to face another heartbreak

It's torture to refrain

But it's better than a heartbreak
