What if I was wrong, and jumped to conclusions 
Cause the chance of losing you was all too dangerous 
So I just assume that you're doing things before you get the chance 
So I can leave and feel like I've got the upper hand 
Guilty yeah, maybe I'm just scared to go all in 
Never was much for the life of gambling 
But you can't win if you don't play 
If you don't play there's no shame in us 
Let's call a spade a spade 

I said I wouldn't let you down 
But it's like we both have changed somehow 
You've made a disease of this town 
And you act like you don't care but you left

Your tears on [bad word] You think [bad word] away 
And you're leaving all your troubles behind 
But I'm not going with you this time 
I don't wanna try to pretend I'm somebody else 
Take me as I am or be left alone 
Tears on [bad word]  runaway 
You know that you love the chase 
Oh yeah, baby love 
With your tears on [bad word] 
This thing with us is flying south if you know what I mean
But I'm trying my best to keep you right here in my city 
wise woman said, I wish people weren't afraid of love 
Then she packed her [bad word] and she ran
Like a coward when the thunder [bad word] 

Things aren't always picture perfect 
But picture us on top cause we're worth it 
Or go and get your ticket, and grab your sweater 
I used to live for the chase but now I know better 

Tears on [bad word] You think [bad word] away 
And you're leaving all your troubles behind 
But I'm not going with you this time 
I don't wanna try and pretend I'm somebody else 
Take me as I am or be left alone 
Tears on [bad word]  runaway 
You know that you love the chase 

I love the chase, you know that I love the chase
