I’m in precontemplation
I have been since we met
You’re the best I’ve ever had
But are you the best I’ll ever get?

I know it could be worse
I’ve been through that before
And I know that must be why
I don’t seek more

I’m a smart girl, I’m headstrong
Good shoulders, good head on ’em
And I know that I know better
Yeah, I know that I deserve better
If you were end-all, really the one
I don’t think it’d be a question
Should we be together?
If I have to ask, then I already know the answer

I’m prayin’ for a miracle
I’m searchin’ for a sign
I never have the right words
I never find the right time

‘Cause I know it could be worse
‘Cause I’ve been through that before
And I know that must be why
I don’t seek more
Know we’re on borrowed time
We’re just avoiding it
I’ve privately made up my mind
The end is imminent

I’m a smart girl, I’m headstrong
Good shoulders, good head on ’em
And I know that I know better
Yeah, I know that I deserve better
If you were end-all, really the one
I don’t think it’d be a question
Should we be together?
If I have to ask, then I already know the answer

I don’t wanna box my shit
Don’t wanna call it what it is
Might be the one to pull the plug
But neither of us will get out unscathed
And I don’t wanna see you hurt
I don’t wanna say it first
Don’t wanna admit I’m not in love
And I’m not sure I ever was in the first place

I’m a smart girl
And I know that I know better
Yeah, I know you know I deserve better
If you were end-all, if you were the one
Then it wouldn’t be a question
Should we be together?
If I have to ask, then I already know the answer
