 If it's o-o-kay
 I'll leave  the bed light on
 And place  your water glass  where i-it belo-ngs
 And if it's a-al-right
 I'll lie  awake at night
 Pre-tending  I am curled  up at your side
 See I'm circling  in these pa-a-tterns
 Living out  of memori-i-ies
 I'm still a long  way from accepting it
 That there's just  no you-u and me
 But if I still-ll  believe you lo-ove  me
Maybe  I'll survi-ive
 So I tell-ll  myself you're co-ming  home
 Like you've done  a million ti-imes
 And if it's a-al-right
 I'll still-ll  be loving you
 'cause I can't break it to my-y  hea-a-art
 Is it ju-ust me
 Did I  commit a cri-ime
 I won't  believe that loving  you-u  is just a  waste of time
 Or was  it in my he-e-ead
 I'm reading  into things  that you neve-er said
 'cause I still  don't have the a-answers
 To why we couldn't  wo-ork it o-out
 I wanna think  it's something that I did
 So I can turn  it back a-round
 But if I still-ll  believe you lo-ove  me
Maybe  I'll survi-ive
 So I tell-ll  myself you're co-ming  home
 Like you've done  a million ti-imes
 And if it's a-al-right
 I'll still-ll  be loving you
 'cause I can't break it to my-y  hea-a-art
 And nothing will co-ome  between u-u-s
 I wanna convi-ince  myself we're per-fect  in every  single way
 As long  as I can keep  the truth awa-ay  from my-y  heart
 Oh  'cause I can-n't break it  to my hea-a-a-art
 O-o-o-o-oh
 'cause I still  don't have the a-answers
 To why we couldn't  wo-ork it o-o-out
 I wanna think  it's something that I did
 So I can turn  it back a-round
 But if I still-ll  believe you lo-ove  me
Maybe  I'll survi-ive
 So I tell-ll  myself you're co-ming  home
 Like you've done  a million ti-imes
 And if it's a-al-right
 I'll still-ll  be loving you
 But if I still-ll  believe you lo-ove  me
Maybe  I'll survi-ive
 So I tell-ll  myself you're co-ming  home
 Like you've done  a million ti-imes
 And if it's a-al-right
 I'll still-ll  be loving you
 And if it's a-al-right
 I'll stil-ll  be lo-ovin-ng you
 'cause I can't break it to my-y  hea-a-art
 I can't break it to my-y-y-y  hea-a-art
 O-o-o-o-oh
