delay

I was fine for a while
I was fine on my own
Maybe it was denial
Maybe I was wrong
I was fine doing dishes
With my headphones on
Now, whenever I listen, I hear you in every song

Maybe it was runner's high
Maybe I was just lying

'Cause the memories make noise
In the corner I avoid
Till someone turns a light on
Until I have no choice
I pretend that I was brave
Minimizing all the pain
And, in trying to run away
I think I just delayed it
(Ooh, ooh)

Well, you were mine for a while
So it takes time to adjust
But I just let it all pile
Till I was completely crushed
Like the hare and the tortoise
Took its time to catch up
Now I'm losing my focus
And grieving the loss of us

Maybe it was runner's high
It's just time I'm buying

'Cause the memories make noise
In the corner I avoid
Till someone turns a light on
Until I have no choice
I pretend that I'm okay
Minimizing all the pain
And, in trying to run away
I think I just delayed it

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

'Cause the memories make noise
In the corner I avoid
Till someone turns a light on
Until I have no choice
I pretend that I'm okay
Minimizing everything
Every time I run away
I think I just delay

Oh-oh (oh-oh)
Oh-oh (oh-oh)
Ohh-ohh (ohh-ohh)
Oh-oh (oh-oh)
Oh-oh (ohh)
