Heartbreak can wait 'Cause I'm too scared to let you go Yeah I know I gotta do this But I'm makin' up excuses not to be alone
Still haven't made it up the PCH Still haven't kissed you in the pourin' rain Birthday 'round the corner, couple weeks away So I'm holdin' off Things are goin' good, but they're not goin' great You've been workin' hard and I've been workin' late The words that I've been thinkin' I don't really wanna say So I'm holdin' off
Heartbreak can wait 'Cause I'm too scared to let you go Yeah I know I gotta do this But I'm makin' up excuses not to be alone Heartbreak can wait But I don't wanna waste your time So I'mma take your hand and hold it like I'm never lettin' go Before I say goodbye
(Heartbreak can wait)
Haven't slept a second in the last seven nights Livin' in my head, I'm rehearsin' every line I know that there's no way that we're not gonna cry So I'm holdin' off
Desperate for my soul to softly say "It's okay to stay a few more days"
Heartbreak can wait 'Cause I'm too scared to let you go Yeah I know I gotta do this But I'm makin' up excuses not to be alone Heartbreak can wait But I don't wanna waste your time So I'mma take your hand and hold it like I'm never lettin' go Before I say goodbye
Wait a second I feel like my stomach's in my throat Why is it the ones you love The ones you hurt the most Went as far as I can run but now I'm out of road I gotta let you know, I gotta let you know Wait a second I feel like my stomach's in my throat Why is it the ones you love The ones you hurt the most Went as far as I can run but now I'm out of road I gotta let you know, I gotta let you know
But heartbreak can wait 'Cause I'm too scared to let you go Yeah I know I gotta do this But I'm makin' up excuses not to be alone
