[Verse 1] You said stay here I read it clear But the floor feels thin And the room's too near My shoes by the door My hand on the lock I can hear my name But I don't turn back [Pre-Chorus] If you want me close Say it straight If this road is mine I won't wait [Chorus] I'll go the other way I'll go the other way If your heart stays closed I'll go the other way (the other way) I'll go the other way I'll go the other way No more half-lit lines I'll go the other way [Verse 2] You keep that stare Like it's something I owe But I know my bones When they say go I learned the hard part Of loving the ask When the door stays shut I don't circle back [Pre-Chorus] If you want me close Say it straight If this road is mine I won't wait [Chorus] I'll go the other way I'll go the other way If your heart stays closed I'll go the other way (the other way) I'll go the other way I'll go the other way No more half-lit lines I'll go the other way [Bridge] Maybe I wanted A different ending Maybe I stayed Just for pretending But my feet are honest My name is mine I won't break myself To pass your line [Final Chorus] I'll go the other way I'll go the other way If your heart stays closed I'll go the other way (the other way) I'll go the other way I'll go the other way I won't beg the door I'll go the other way
