You're all dressed up
Ready to go out
Starin' at the phone
Waitin' for my name to show
You want me to tell you
Baby, don't go out
But you know I'll keep my mouth shut
How could I know that you
Have been waiting on me
To give you the green light, baby
My silence is loud and you know that
I probably don't understand
I'm giving you every reason to run away
That doesn't make it hurt less
That doesn't make you want to stay in
That doesn't help me anyway
Oh, I've never been good at this
I've never been good at this
You're turnin' the lock
There's no protest
Your echo falls hard against the sidewalk
I can see every move
You're on the offense
It's not about winnin' but hurting me
How could I know that you
Have been waiting on me
To give you the green light, baby
My heart is proud and you know that
Oh, I'll never change
You're givin' me every reason to run away
That doesn't make it hurt less
That doesn't make you want to stay in
That doesn't help me anyway
Oh, I've never been good at this
