Sitting at the table
My back's against the wall
Coffee's getting colder
As I wait for you to talk
We've been having trouble
Just getting through the day
Make sure you won't regret it
What you're about to say

'Cause I can't afford to lose it
I can't afford to crack
I've given you my heart
Now you can never give it back
I can't afford to breakdown
And I'm here upon my knees
Don't turn me into someone
That I can't afford to be

No need for explanation
I smell her on your skin
My imagination is worse
Than where you've been
This ain't the first time
You've let your colors show
How can I be hurt by
What I don't want to know

'Cause I can't afford to lose it
I can't afford to crack
I've given you my heart
Now you can never give it back
I can't afford to breakdown
And I'm here upon my knees
Don't turn me into someone
That I can't afford to be

Living with the secrets
And hearing all your lies
Is easier than leaving
All that I love behind

'Cause I can't afford to lose it
I can't afford to crack
I've given you my heart
Now you can never give it back
I can't afford to breakdown
And I'm here upon my knees
Don't turn me into someone
That I can't afford to be
