How long will you lead me along?
How long is that piece of string?
Felt I was flying through the air, I was wrong
'Cause I'm the kite you're handlin'

Can't get a hold of you
I don't know where you are
Used to be like glue
But then you ripped away and left me scarred

This isn't how I thought it would end
No, not like this
A few lines of text and you pressed send
No, not like this

Won't you scream in my face
Or cry me a river
Come on leave me a trace
Oh won't you stand and deliver your lines
Just don't end it all like this

Oh won't you give me a sign
Smash in a window
Oh start up a fire
Come on let's reach the crescendo it's time
Just don't end it all like this
Not like this

How high are you holdin' me up
On such a delicate breakable thread?
After all the life you gave me I never thought
That you would go and leave me dead

'Cause I remember you
With the fire in your eyes
I wanna feel the burn
But your blood runs cold as ice

This isn't how I thought it would end
No, not like this
A few lines of text and you pressed send
No, not like this

Won't you scream in my face
Or cry me a river
Come on leave me a trace oh
Won't you stand and deliver your lines
Just don't end it all like this

Won't you give me a sign
Smash in a window
Come on start up a fire
Oh yeah let's reach the crescendo it's time
Just don't leave it all like this
Not like this

Thought we'd be done with a shout and not a whisper
Thought we'd go out with a bang and not a whimper

This isn't how I thought it would end
No, not like this
A few lines of text and you pressed send
No, not like this

Oh won't you scream in my face
Or cry me a river
Come on leave me a trace
Oh won't you stand and deliver your lines
Just don't end it all like this

Won't you give me a sign
Or smash in a window
Start up a fire
Come on let's reach the crescendo it's time
Just don't end it all like this
Not like this
