Give me time, give me space, she said
I'm fine, just need to clear my head
It's not you, but it sort of is
What do we do in this predicament
Give it time, it'll all make sense
Ignored the signs, now the consequence
Ooh, we've exhausted ourselves
Ran this to the ground
The light is paling out
Don't let me down slowly
Rip it off like a band-aid
Let go of the old me
It's only you that you can save
We're no longer 19
Kids dancing on graves
Yet here we are wilting away
'Cause we can't grow in the shade
It's alright, it's a phase she said
I'd never lie unless it called for it
Ooh, what's the point of entertaining
All we had crashing and burning
If we both know we been yearning for an exit
Rather go our separate ways
And keep history safe
That's what it's going to take
Don't let me down slowly
Rip it off like a band-aid
Let go of the old me
It's only you that you can save
We're no longer 19
Kids dancing on graves
Yet here we are wilting away
'Cause we can't grow in the shade
Oh we both been treading hard so we don't go under
But this ship has been capsized for far too long
We let lightning strike but still have not heard thunder
Maybe it's our time to find where it had gone
Oh, I'm sorry I don't have an explanation
I just know that we can't stand it anymore
Oh, the gall of us to ignore our expiration
We been together in isolation
Don't let me down slowly
Rip it off like a band-aid
Let go of the old me
It's only you that you can save
We're no longer 19
Kids dancing on graves
Yet here we are wilting away
'Cause we can't grow in the shade
Don't let me down
Don't let me down (Rip it off like a band-aid)
Let go, let go, let go (It's only you that you can save)
We ain't 19 no more
Things ain't how they were before
Yet here we are wilting (Wilting away)
We can't grow in the shade
