hate to say Video (MV)

I'd call it an even six but it's
More like seven months
I've needed this time to figure out
To figure out
You'd get it if you ever had the urge
To want to run away and stay away
I'm not talkin 'bout vacation
No, i'm talkin 'bout a change of pace

Did it surprise you, as we were driving,
I never looked back once
Would it upset you, if I had told you,
I never looked back once

And I hate to say
That I knew better when we lost our way
Once the swords were drawn
Couldn't recover, we were too far gone
I hate to say that things won't change
You can call it doubt, I just want out
I hate to say, I hate to say

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Always imagined that leaving would be easier
Easier said than done
But somehow I left and it felt so much easier
Than anything that I've done

Don't take it the wrong way
I've had lots of practice
I've left you a million times
Inside of my brain, I've had lots of practice
But I've really left this time

And I hate to say
That I knew better when we lost our way
Once the swords were drawn
Couldn't recover, we were too far gone
I hate to say that you're in my way
Only that's not true
I still think of you
I hate to say
I hate to say
