I got drunk, you got drunk

We had sex, we woke up

Caught up in a thread count, tangled in skin

Now you're checking your phone, he's checking in

And it's right now that I start to see it

All of the weight of the way that it is

Caught between what it means to start over

And what happens over and over again, but

I don't wanna hold you, I don't wanna hold you

I don't wanna hold you back

I don't wanna see you, I don't wanna see you

I don't wanna see you hurt like that

You had your heart in a cage

I'll cut it loose, baby, fly away

I'm holding on to what we had

But I don't wanna hold you, I don't wanna hold you back

I get up, you get up

We get dressed, say I love you

Kiss you goodbye and I finally mean it

It took until now for us both to believe it

And it's not like we got back together

We're just coming back to the thing that we know

When you called it off, you said it's for the better

That don't make it easy for me to let go, baby

I don't wanna hold you, I don't wanna hold you

I don't wanna hold you back

I don't wanna see you, I don't wanna see you

I don't wanna see you hurt like that

You had your heart in a cage

I'll cut it loose, baby, fly away

I'm holding on to what we had

But I don't wanna hold you, I don't wanna hold you back

Well, call me up if you ever get lonely

Call me up if you ever want me

But until then, I'm setting you free

And if you ever come back to me, baby

I don't wanna hold you, I don't wanna hold you

I don't wanna hold you back

I don't wanna see you, I don't wanna see you

I don't wanna see you hurt like that

You had your heart in a cage

I'll cut it loose, baby, fly away

I'm holding on to what we had

But I don't wanna hold you, I don't wanna hold you back

Oh ooh
