[Verse 1: Luke]
Why do we always gotta run away?
And we wind up in the same place
It's like we're looking for the same thing
Same thing, yeah
Yeah, do we really gotta do this now?
Right here with all your friends around
In the morning, we can work it out
Work it out

[Pre-Chorus: Luke, with All]
I love you so much that I hate you
Right now, it's so hard to blame you
'Cause you're so damn beautiful
You're so damn beautiful

[Chorus: Luke, with All]
Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?
I don't wanna know, oh
I know that I'm never, ever gonna change
And you know that you're always gonna stay the same
Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?
I don't wanna know, oh
I know that I'm never, ever gonna change
And you know you don't want it any other way

[Verse 2: Luke]
Every time that you say you're gonna leave
That's when you get the very best of me
You know we need it like the air we breathe
Air we breathe, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Luke, with All]
I love you so much that I hate you
Right now, it's so hard to blame you
'Cause you're so damn beautiful

[Chorus: Luke, with All]
Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?
I don't wanna know, oh
I know that I'm never, ever gonna change
And you know that you're always gonna stay the same
Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?
I don't wanna know, oh (I don't wanna know)
I know that I'm never, ever gonna change
And you know you don't want it any-

[Bridge: Luke]
The hardest part of all
Is that we're only built to fall

[Chorus: Luke, with All]
Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?
I don't wanna know, oh
I know that I'm never, ever gonna change
And you know that you're always gonna stay the same
Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?
I don't wanna know, oh
I know that I'm never, ever gonna change
And you know you don't want it any other way

[Outro: Luke]
I love you so much that I hate you (Hate you)
Right now, it's so hard to blame you
'Cause you're so damn beautiful
