Lyrics

I'm under the assumption that I'm gonna be
The one that's leaving you tonight, oh tonight
Well I've flicked every switch that I could find on my way out
Just to upset you more
Just to keep you busy
Just to make you angry
Just because you were right
Just because you were..

All tired scream safe haven
Let's get this out and on the table

Fast forward to say four o' clock
Im keeping time, I'm holdin'
We're always holdin' (we're always holdin)
We're always holdin, holding out
And that's what got us here in the first place
You should have never come here alone
You should have never bothered at all
Bothered at all..

Scream older and wiser
Still filled with resentment
We get it, we get it
And I haven't been happier since
Older and wiser
Still filled with resentment
We get it, we get it
I haven't been happier since...(oh, bree ann )
I haven't been happier not since(oh)

Well five o' clock the floor caught fire
With footsteps (my footsteps)
And spread like a disease to the door
I'm stuttering through it but I hear it
Well, i-i I hear it's good t-t-to stick to what you know
And you know a whole lot of this
It all could have been avoided
When you were courtside for this nightmare
Well since then I got myself. come and listen

Older and wiser
Still filled with resentment
We get it, we get it
And I haven't been happier since..
Older and wiser
Still filled with resentment
We get it, we get it and
I haven't been happier since...(oh, bree ann
I haven't been happier since... (bree ann)
I haven't been happier since... (bree ann)
I haven't been happier since... (bree ann)
I haven't been happier not since

Well we used to get so much more
(I used to, I used to too...)
It used to take so much more
(I used to, I used to, I used to, I used to.)
