I don’t wanna break up

Can we just phase out?

A gradual transition

From the way things are right now

Things don’t have to end bad

Trade weekends with the cat

We’ll keep the apartment

And you can still play golf with my dad

We can still be friends

Or is that utopian?

We don’t have to shine a bad light

Just because it’s changing

It doesn’t take away the good times

No one has to be the bad guy

Just cuz it’s not working

No, we don’t have to shine a bad light!

Know that I’m not salty, I want this to stay sweet

I just miss the people that we used to be

I want you to be happy and I want the same for me

I’m just tired of fixing what doesn’t need fixing

We don’t have to shine a bad light

Just because it’s changing

It doesn’t take away the good times

No one has to be the bad guy

Just cuz it’s not working

No, we don’t have to shine a bad light!

No, we don’t have to shine a bad light!

We don’t have to leave loud

Let’s not burn the house down

We don’t need a door slam

To open a new one

Let’s open a new one,

Let’s open a new one

We don’t have to shine a bad light

Just because it’s changing

It doesn’t take away the good times

No one has to be the bad guy

Just cuz it’s not working

It doesn’t mean that it won’t hurt

It doesn’t mean we didn’t try

We don’t have to shine a bad light!

We don’t have to shine a bad light!

We don’t have to shine a bad light!

We don’t have to shine a bad light!

We don’t have to shine a bad light!

We don’t have to shine a bad light!

We don’t have to shine a bad light!
