No need to say it

But I'm thinking 'bout you

Hate that I hate it

Still can't hide from the truth

You wanted more, couldn't give you my all

Got lost in the woods, but you're close to my heart

No need to say it

But I'm thinking 'bout you

Trading places, all my friends say

Time to let it go

But they don't know I'm alone

It's just empty spaces

Where you used to live

You would ask me to stay home

And sleep until late

And every time that I said not today

You made me promise that I'd never change

Now we're trading places

'Cause you're walking away

Trading places and I've got the pen

Sudden calm in the violence

Certain thrill in the blues

We've rewired our heart strings 'cause

We're too scared to lose

We thought the loving would never decay

Even when you knew that I couldn't stay and now we are

Trading places, all my friends saying

"Time to let it go" but they don't know when I'm alone it's just

Empty spaces where you used to live

You would ask me to stay home

And sleep until late

And every time that I said not today

You made me promise that I'd never change

Now we're trading places

'Cause you're walking away

Trading places and I've got the pen

And every time that I said not today

You made me promise that I'd never change

Now we're trading places

'Cause you're walking away

We're not the same, so I'm walking away

(Trading places)

Started the fire, got caught in the flame

(Trading places)

And you turned the page, now I'm floating away

(Trading places)

And now I've got the pen

Empty spaces where you used to live

You would ask me to stay home

And sleep until late

And every time that I said not today

You made me promise that I'd never change

Now we're trading places

'Cause you're walking away

Trading places and I've got the pen
