"Love You (But I Don't)" lyrics

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 clichés
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
Say in the end it will be worth it
They're telling me that I deserve this
I hate the sound of clichés
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
