Avery Lynch Not In That Way
[Verse 1]
When someone's love goes dead, do we ever believe it?
Just slowly pull back our hands 'til we're ready to say it
'Cause maybe that's easier than letting go
Or we torture ourselves 'til the inevitable happens
And that always happens
[Chorus]
It starts with doing things without them
And then you live in different states
Then they start needing to remind themselves to call you every day
And then they're making friends with people
Who barely know your name
And, once that happens, I'll still love you
But not in that way
[Post-Chorus]
Not in that, not in that way
[Verse 2]
Everyone goes too far 'til we're over expired (Hmm-mm, mm-mm)
Knowing we would be better off if they called it
Back when they knew what we had wouldn't cut it
'Cause maybe that's easier than letting go (Letting go)
Just torture ourselves 'til the inevitable happens (Hmm-mm)
And that always happens
[Chorus]
It starts with doing things without them
And then you live in different states
Then they start needing to remind themselves to call you every day
And then they're making friends with people
Who barely know your name
And, once that happens, I'll still love you
But not in that way
[Post-Chorus]
(Hmm, mm-mm, mm-mm) Not in that, not in that way
[Bridge]
Maybe we were meant to (Hmm, mm-mm)
Be just for a minute
And then that minute ended (Hmm)
'Cause we shared air like water (Ooh, ooh)
Was pouring in around us (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
And maybe that's our problem
We never went without it
[Chorus]
It starts with doing things without them
And then you live in different states
Then they start needing to remind themselves to call you every day
And then they're making friends with people (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Who barely know your name
And, once that happens, I'll still love you (Hmm, mm-mm)
But not in that way
[Post-Chorus]
(Hmm, ooh-ooh) Not in that, not in that way (Ooh)
No, not in that way (Hmm, ooh-ooh)
Not in that, not in that way
