He’s tryna keep you at arm’s length (Oh, oh)
He ain’t trying to be heartless (Oh, oh)
’Cause who in their right mind would carry on regardless?
If it’s ready for burning why you polishing the casket
Ooh, you're always tryna be, tryna be, tryna be, tryna be righteous
You're always tryna be, tryna be, tryna be, tryna be righteous
Change your name and cut your hair
Dance around like no-one's watching
There’s no shame in letting go
Burn your bridges start again
There’s a whole world for the taking
Hold him tight and let him go
Fake a smile and take a bow
Now the party's over
Oh-oh-oh
You say it’s never the right words (Oh, oh)
You say it’s never the right time (Oh, oh)
Your treading water while he’s throwing you a lifeline
Don’t be a martyr, don’t take him under
He was the lightning to your thunder
You’re always trying to be, trying to be, trying to be, trying to be righteous
(Righteous)
You’re always trying to be, trying to be, trying to be, trying to be righteous
Change your name and cut your hair
Dance around like no-one's watching
There’s no shame in letting go
Burn your bridges start again
There’s a whole world for the taking
Hold him tight and let him go
Fake a smile and take a bow
Now the party's over
Oh-oh-oh
It’s just a temporary loss
Don’t sit around and count the cost
Of all the moments that we lost
Change your name and cut your hair
Dance around like no-one's watching
There’s no shame in letting go
Burn your bridges start again
There’s a whole world for the taking
Hold him tight and let him go
Fake a smile and take a bow
Now the party's over
