Before you decide

You've got that quiet that says you're ready to leave Eyes on the door, but you're still

Looking at me I ain't here to corner you, I ain't here

Just trying to say what I should have said all along

I've been playing tough like it don't get to me

Like losing you's just another thin scar on my skin

Truth is I've been losing sleep over what we became

Trying to act like love don't change, man

I'll never mess this up again, but I swear I ain't giving up on us

Before you decide, before you shut that door

Hear me out like you used to before

I know I ain't perfect, I know I've been hard

But you still got a place in this heart

If you're already gone, I won't stand in the way

Just don't leave thinking I didn't stay

Before you decide

Let me say this once

I don't need pity, I don't need grace

Just need a moment that ain't rushed to fate

I know I checked out when you needed more

Left you guessing what I was fighting for

I've been raised to hold it all inside

Carry the weight and keep my head high

But strength don't mean pretending you don't hurt

Sometimes it's saying the words I won't promise forever

Wrapped up in lies, but I promise effort, not just pride

Before you decide, before you walk away

No, I've been scared of losing you this whole damn time

I know I ain't easy, I know I've been close

But loving you's the realest thing I know

If tonight's the end, I respect your choice

Just don't leave without hearing my voice

Before you decide

Let me say this once

I ain't asking you to forget the past

I'm asking you to see me right now

If there's still a chance buried in your doubt

I'm standing here, I'll prove it somehow

Before you decide, before you let it break

Remember the ground that we already made

I won't swear I'll never fall apart

But I swear I won't quit on your heart

If you still feel nothing, I'll let it be
