Heartbreak can wait
'Cause I'm too scared to let you go
Yeah I know I gotta do this
But I'm makin' up excuses not to be alone

Still haven't made it up the PCH
Still haven't kissed you in the pourin' rain
Birthday 'round the corner, couple weeks away
So I'm holdin' off
Things are goin' good, but they're not goin' great
You've been workin' hard and I've been workin' late
The words that I've been thinkin' I don't really wanna say
So I'm holdin' off

Heartbreak can wait
'Cause I'm too scared to let you go
Yeah I know I gotta do this
But I'm makin' up excuses not to be alone
Heartbreak can wait
But I don't wanna waste your time
So I'mma take your hand
and hold it like I'm never lettin' go
Before I say goodbye

(Heartbreak can wait)

Haven't slept a second in the last seven nights
Livin' in my head, I'm rehearsin' every line
I know that there's no way that we're not gonna cry
So I'm holdin' off

Desperate for my soul to softly say
"It's okay to stay a few more days"

Heartbreak can wait
'Cause I'm too scared to let you go
Yeah I know I gotta do this
But I'm makin' up excuses not to be alone
Heartbreak can wait
But I don't wanna waste your time
So I'mma take your hand
and hold it like I'm never lettin' go
Before I say goodbye

Wait a second
I feel like my stomach's in my throat
Why is it the ones you love
The ones you hurt the most
Went as far as I can run but now I'm out of road
I gotta let you know, I gotta let you know
Wait a second
I feel like my stomach's in my throat
Why is it the ones you love
The ones you hurt the most
Went as far as I can run but now I'm out of road
I gotta let you know, I gotta let you know

But heartbreak can wait
'Cause I'm too scared to let you go
Yeah I know I gotta do this
But I'm makin' up excuses not to be alone
