[Verse 1] You left your jacket by the payphone Said you’d be back before the last train I knew the promise had a crack in it Still kept your number in the rain [Pre-Chorus] You pull me close, then count to three Like I won’t hear the door click shut I’m done confusing almost-love With something I can trust [Chorus] I make the same mistake, then change the rules I let you in, then leave you there You say my name like it’s a guarantee But I’m not waiting anywhere One more try, one more excuse You can keep the words you never prove I’m taking back the night, the choice, the view This time I’m through with you [Verse 2] Your old mixtape is in a shoebox The handwritten side is wearing thin I played it once, then took the long way Past the place we used to meet again [Pre-Chorus] You pull me close, then count to three Like I won’t hear the door click shut I’m done confusing almost-love With something I can trust [Chorus] I make the same mistake, then change the rules I let you in, then leave you there You say my name like it’s a guarantee But I’m not waiting anywhere One more try, one more excuse You can keep the words you never prove I’m taking back the night, the choice, the view This time I’m through with you [Breakdown: synth, bass, treble] [Bridge: female rap] Look, I kept the receipt and I read every line You were selling forever by the quarter past nine Now the keys in my hand and the map’s in my head I don’t circle your block, I don’t replay what you said You can call it a phase, call it pride, call it cold I call choosing myself worth more than your gold I’m not your encore, not your standby plan I walked out the door and I know who I am [Final Verse] The morning finds me laughing loudly At how small that old room used to seem I leave the jacket with the doorman And take the train toward something new [Final Chorus] I made the same mistake, then changed the rules I let you in, then left you there You said my name like it was a guarantee But I’m not waiting anywhere One last look, no more excuse I kept the words I finally proved I’m taking back the night, the choice, the view This time I’m through with you [Outro] This time I’m through with you This time I choose what’s true
