out of my system

I said the last time, was the last time
But here we are once again
This cycle caused such a mess
God, I'm a mess

Everyone tells me it's not healthy
But you keep on pulling me in
You know how to get under my skin
But I run right to it

Twenty one days to break a habit
Made it to twenty, I thought I almost had it
Guess I forgot how to put you in the past tense
This ending is just not what I imagined

I'll keep your letters in my bedside drawer
And I'll keep your pictures of my clothes on your floor
Till I finally learn to listen
Till I get you out of my system

I'll keep picking up every time you call
And I'll keep coming over when I know I should go
Till I get you out of my system
Till I get you out of my system

It's not over till it's over
Every time I'm getting closer
To making this right and saying goodbye and meeting it this time

I'll keep your letters in my bedside drawer
And I'll keep your pictures of my clothes on your floor
Till I finally learn to listen
Till I get you out of my system

I'll keep picking up every time you call
And I'll keep coming over when I know I should go
Till I get you out of my system
Till I get you out of my system

I'll keep your shirt in my closet
Hands in your pockets
Crossing my fingers when I say I don't want this
One day I'll say it and I'll end up being honest
I'll be honest

And swear to all of my friends this time is really over
Baby I'm afraid it'll never be over
At the end of the day I've never wanted you closer

I'll keep your letters in my bedside drawer
And I'll keep your pictures of my clothes on your floor
Till I finally learn to listen
Till I get you out of my system

I'll keep picking up every time you call
And I'll keep coming over when I know I should go
Till I get you out of my system
Till I get you out of my system
