"Not In That Way" lyrics

When someone's love goes dead, do we ever believe it?
Just slowly pull back our hands 'till we're ready to say it
'Cause maybe that's easier than letting go
Or we torture ourselves 'till the inevitable happens
And that always happens

It starts with doing things without them
And then you live in different states
Then they start needing to remind themselves
To call you every day
And then they're making friends with people
Who barely know your name
And once that happens they'll still love you
But not in that way

Not in that, not in that way

Everyone goes too far 'till we're over expired
Knowing we would be better off if they called it
Back when they knew what we had wouldn't cut it
'Cause maybe that's easier than letting go
Just torture ourselves 'till the inevitable happens
And that always happens

It starts with doing things without them
And then you live in different states
Then they start needing to remind themselves
To call you every day
And then they're making friends with people
Who barely know your name
And once that happens they'll still love you
But not in that way

Not in that, not in that way

Maybe we were meant to
Be just for a minute
But then that minute ended
'Cause we shared air like water
Was pouring in around us
And maybe that's our problem
We never went without it

It starts with doing things without them
And then you live in different states
Then they start needing to remind themselves
To call you every day
And then they're making friends with people
Who barely know your name
And once that happens they'll still love you
But not in that way

Not in that, not in that way
Not in that way
Not in that, not in that way
