Thank Me Later

Is it supposed to be like a never-ending train ride?

Or waiting for a grey sky to turn to sun?

I kiss you when I feel it

We talk like we're defeated

We're just scared of bein' quitters after this love

So won't you say the words we're chokin' on?

I need to let you go, let you go

It's better for us both

You don't see it but I'm doin' us a favour

I need to let you go, let you go

'Cause when you know, you know (you know)

And it's hurting right now but you'll thank me later

I need to let you go

Let's not decorate the sadness

Let's just rip off the Band-Aid

And hug and say it's okay, we stop right here

The sooner that we're not together, you'll find someone better

But if we're gonna get there

Oh, if we're gonna get there

I need to let you go, let you go

It's better for us both

You don't see it but I'm doin' us a favour

I need to let you go (let you go), let you go (let you go)

'Cause when you know, you know

And it's hurting right now but you'll thank me later

I need to let you go

I know nothing's ever promised

But I hate walking away

'Cause this isn't how I saw it

Tears running down my face (down my face)

I know nothing's ever promised

I hate walking away

'Cause this isn't how I saw it

I need to let you go, let you go

It's better for us both

You don't see it but I'm doin' us a favour

I need to let you go (let you go), let you go (let you go)

'Cause when you know, you know (when you know, you know)

And it's hurting right now but you'll thank me later

I need to let you go (let you go)

I know nothing's ever promised (let you go)

(When you know, you know, let you go)

'Cause this isn't how I saw it

I need to let you go
