Trading Places

No need to say it
But I'm thinking 'bout you
Hate that I hate it
Still can't hide from the truth

You wanted more, couldn't give you my all
Got lost in the woods, but you're close to my heart
No need to say it
But I'm thinking 'bout you
Trading places, all my friends say
Time to let it go
But they don't know I'm alone, it's just

Empty spaces
Where you used to live
You would ask me to stay home
And sleep until late

And every time that I said not today
You made me promise that I'd never change
Now we're trading places
'Cause you're walking away
Trading places and I've got the pen

Sudden calm in the violence
Certain thrill in the blues
We've rewired our heart strings 'cause
We're too scared to lose

We thought the loving would never decay
Even when you knew that I couldn't stay and now we are
Trading places, all my friends saying
Time to let it go, but they don't know when I'm alone it's just

Empty spaces where you used to live
You would ask me to stay home
And sleep until late
And every time that I said not today

You made me promise that I'd never change
Now we're trading places
'Cause you're walking away
Trading places and I've got the pen

And every time that I said not today
You made me promise that I'd never change
Now we're trading places
'Cause you're walking away

(Trading places)
We're not the same, so I'm walking away
(Trading places)
Started the fire, got caught in the flame

(Trading places)
And you turned the page, now I'm floating away
(Trading places)
And now I've got the pen

Empty spaces where you used to live
You would ask me to stay home
And sleep until late
And every time that I said not today

You made me promise that I'd never change
Now we're trading places
'Cause you're walking away
Trading places and I've got the pen
