delay

i was fine for a while
i was fine on my own
maybe it was denial
maybe i was wrong

i was fine doing dishes
with my headphones on
now whenever i listen
i hear you in every song

maybe it was runners high
maybe i was just lying

cause the memories make noise
in the corner i avoid
til someone turns a light on
until i have no choice

i pretended i was brave
minimizing all the pain
and in trying to run away
i think i just delayed it

well you were mine for a while
so it takes time to adjust
but i just let it all pile
til i was completely crushed

like the hare and the tortoise
took its time to adjust
now i'm losing my focus
and grieving the loss of us

maybe it was runners high
it's just time i'm buying

cause the memories make noise
in the corner i avoid
til someone turns a light on
until i have no choice

i pretend that i'm okay
minimizing all the pain
and in trying to run away
i think i just delayed it

ooooh

cause the memories make noise
in the corner i avoid
til someone turns a light on
until i have no choice

i pretend that i'm okay
minimizing everything
and in trying to run away
i think i just delay it
