Break Up in Reverse

The tears on your face, climb back into your eyes
A little less on your nerves, and a little more on your mind
Make up before we fight, dream before we sleep
Slowly getting better than we've ever been

Things we should've never said
Just crawl right back into our heads
Hear you say to me
"Leave, don't, please"

I wish we could break up in reverse
Every night would get better instead of getting worse
I'd watch you slowly slip back into my hands
Say goodbye to me in the beginning
And love me in the end
And love me in the end
Oh-oh

You'd be on your way back from Massachusetts
Bet it breaks the hearts of stars when we use 'em as excuses
And wish upon a stranger, even though we know it's useless
'Cause all I want's the night back when your best friend introduced us

I wish we could break up in reverse
Every night would get better instead of getting worse
I'd watch you slowly slip back into my hands
Say goodbye to me in the beginning
And love me in the end
And love me in the end

Things we should have never said
Just crawl right back into our heads
I can hear you scream
"Leave, don't, please"

I wish we could break up in reverse
Wouldn't have to remember all the ways that it hurts
I'd watch you slowly slip back into my hands
Say goodbye to me in the beginning
And love me in the end
Love me in the end
Love me in the end
Love me in the end
