Lyrics:

[v1]
I got a problem with options
It was easier when you were the only one calling
Now I’m tryna be honest
But I’m buying time with little lies & you can tell I’m stalling

[pre]
And there’s no way
That I’m making a decision
But I can’t stay
By now, I thought it’d be different

[chorus]
You were good for me
You were good for me
If there’s a heart to break
I’d rather not take my chances
Cause you were good
But anybody could be

[post]
(There are plenty of fish in the sea)

[v2]
I got a problem with attention
I think I love anyone who tries to be nice to me
And it’s hard to fight against them
I don’t say no, even though I know I should probably leave

[pre]

[chorus]

[post]

[outro]
(And there’s no way)
You were good for me
(Oh, I can’t stay)
Cause anybody could be...
