I know it won't work lyrics

I left you here, heard you keep the extra closet empty
In case, this year, I come back and stay throughout my 20s
What if I won't? How am I supposed to put that gently?
And down the road, you will love me until you resent me
Mm-mhm
I've had the thought, tried to work it out through anxious pacin'
What if I'm not worth the time and breath I know you're savin'?
But it's a lot, all the shine of half a decade fadin'
The whole facade seemed to fall apart, it's complicated
Mm-mhm, hm
And part of me wants to walk away 'til you really listen
I'd hate to look at your face and know that we're feeling different
'Cause part of me wants you back but
I know it won't work like that, huh?
Why won't you try moving on for once? That might make it easy
I know we cut all the ties, but you're never really leavin'
And part of me wants you back but
I know it won't work like that, huh?
I know it won't work like that
I'll open up, I'm thinkin' everythin' you wish I wasn't
The call was tough, but you're better off, I'm bein' honest
So won't you stop holdin' out for me when I don't want it?
Just brush me off 'cause I'm your ghost right now, your house is haunted
And part of me wants to walk away 'til you really listen
I'd hate to look at your face and know that we're feeling different
'Cause part of me wants you back but
I know it won't work like that, huh?
Why won't you try movin' on for once? That might make it easy
I know we cut all the ties, but you're never really leavin'
And part of me wants you back but
I know it won't work like that, huh?
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) oh, oh-oh
I know it won't work like that, huh?
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) oh, oh-oh
I know it won't work like that, huh?
And part of me wants to walk away 'til you really listen
I'd hate to look at your face and know that we're feeling different
'Cause part of me wants you back but
I know it won't work like that, huh?
Why won't you try moving on for once? That might make it easy
I know we cut all the ties, but you're never really leavin'
And part of me wants you back but
I know it won't work like that, huh?
