Love You (But I Don't)

Wish I could give you a reason But I can't even make it make sense myself 'Cause you're perfect on paper I honestly probably need some help Bear with me for a minute I'm in my head, just listen I hate the sound of cliches But I don't know how to say it any other way How do I let you down easy? Just say,"It's not you it's me" "I think we should see other people" "Right now I need to be single" I could act like it's complicated I could say, "We can still stay friends" All the other sugar coat shit But the truth is I wish I could love you but I don't All my friends are gonna be pissed Tell me I can't help myself Always gotta go and ruin What's right what's wrong with my mental health They say in the end it will be worth it They're tellin' me that I deserve this I hate the sound of cliches But I don't know how to say it any other way How do I let you down easy? Just say,"It's not you it's me" "I think we should see other people" "Right now I need to be single" I could act like it's complicated I could say, "We can still stay friends" All the other sugar coat shit But the truth is I wish I could love you but I don't, I don't You know when you know and I know I don't Could string you along but baby I won't You know, I know, I wish I could love you, love you You know when you know and I know I don't Could string you along but baby I won't You know, I know, I wish I could love you, love you How do I let you down easy? Just say,"It's not you it's me" "I think we should see other people" "Right now I need to be single" I could act like it's complicated I could say, "We can still stay friends" All the other sugar coat shit But the truth is I wish I could love you but I don't, I don't
