[Intro - Female] You’re looking at me different tonight... It was easy when we started, wasn't it? Before the questions got heavy. Let's leave it while it's still sweet. [Verse 1 - Female] You called me twice before the clock hit three, Asking what my weekend’s gonna be. Left your spare sweater sitting on my shelf, Starting to worry 'bout somebody else. I catch you staring when I get up to go, A quiet shadow where a smile used to grow. I still love the touch, I still love the vibe, The way we used to keep the moment alive. But I see the subtle shift in your eyes, Where simple affection starts taking a guise. [Pre-Chorus - Female] Nobody cheated, nobody lied, No heavy drama that we gotta hide. But expectations are filling the space, Creeping into what was a quiet place. And if I stay for another week or two, I’m gonna end up making promises to you. [Chorus - Female] I’m taking a clean exit before it gets cold, Before a sweet story gets bitterly told. I want us to remember the warmth in the dark, Without turning every little feeling to a spark. Yeah, a clean exit, leaving while we're good, Doing what a sensible heart really should. No slamming of doors, no tears on the floor, Just stepping out gently and closing the door. [Verse 2 - Female] It would be so easy just to lay back down, To let you wrap your arms around me in this town. You ask if I can stay through Sunday morning rain, And part of me wants to ignore the coming pain. I almost said yes, almost gave you the word, The prettiest lie that you ever would've heard. But giving you hope that I cannot fulfill, Is a debt that I’m paying when the night goes still. I care about you enough to know when to go, Before a soft yes becomes a heavy no. [Pre-Chorus - Female] Nobody cheated, nobody lied, No heavy drama that we gotta hide. But expectations are filling the space, Creeping into what was a quiet place. And if I stay for another week or two, I’m gonna end up making promises to you. [Chorus - Female] I’m taking a clean exit before it gets cold, Before a sweet story gets bitterly told. I want us to remember the warmth in the dark, Without turning every little feeling to a spark. Yeah, a clean exit, leaving while we're good, Doing what a sensible heart really should. No slamming of doors, no tears on the floor, Just stepping out gently and closing the door. [Bridge - Female] I’m gonna miss the way you make me laugh at two, The easy little comfort that I found in you. This wasn't a game, it wasn't a fake, It’s just a conscious choice that I gotta make. Better to walk away with love in our hands, Than stay until neither one understands. [Final Chorus - Female] I’m taking a clean exit before it gets cold, Before a sweet story gets bitterly told. I want us to remember the warmth in the dark, Without turning every little feeling to a spark. Yeah, a clean exit, leaving while we're good, Doing what a sensible heart really should. No slamming of doors, no tears on the floor, Just stepping out gently and closing the door. [Outro - Female] Clean exit... While we still smile. Keys on the table. Take care of yourself, baby. No Strings Attached.
