I don't wanna write a sad song about you
I don't wanna sing the words that'll cut me up again
'Cause I'm not tryna be a pessimist
If anything, I'm scared of losing this
'Cause I don't wanna write a sad song about you
You know that I find it hard to put words to my feelings
Something about telling you that I'm broken ain't easy
'Cause I can get stuck in the past and the wounds that need healing
But for now, let me tell you in the only way that I know
I don't wanna write a sad song about you
I don't wanna sing the words that'll cut me up again
'Cause I'm not tryna be a pessimist
If anything, I'm scared of losing this
'Cause I don't wanna write a sad song about you
I don't write songs about them, in the hope that they'll hear me, no
It's not about now, but back then it hurt
And I guess that I'm still grieving, oh
I know that it sucks to hear stories of love without you in it
But for now, let me tell you ours in the only way I know
I don't wanna write a sad song about you
I don't wanna sing the words that'll cut me up again
'Cause I'm not tryna be a pessimist
If anything, I'm scared of losing this
'Cause I don't wanna write a sad song about you
No, I never want to
Write a sad song 'bout you
Just give me time to get through
All the shit that broke my heart before
Then I'll start again
With your name in my pen, oh-oh, oh-oh
I don't wanna write a sad song about you
I don't wanna sing the words that'll cut me up again
'Cause I'm not tryna be a pessimist
If anything, I'm scared of losing this
'Cause I don't wanna write a sad song about you
