Skip This Part Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You take your hand off mine
And keep your eyes on the floor
And I'm afraid that I
I've seen this movie before
You cut the engine off
You say we need to talk

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel like I'm frozen
You start turning the knife
In slow motion
Split second memory rewind
Don't walk me up to the door
Don't say it's breaking your heart
Before you say anymore
Can we just skip this part?

[Chorus]
The one where you drive away
And I don't know what to do
And I watch your taillights fade
In a shirt that smells like you
Then cry on the floor in the dark
Can we just skip this part?
[Verse 2]
This ain't the scenе where
I break down and bеg you to stay
But it doesn't seem fair
For me to sit through the pain
Make you the villain
Who rides away with my heart
So baby listen
Can we just skip this part?

[Chorus]
The one where you drive away
And I don't know what to do
In a shirt that smells like you
Then cry on the floor in the dark
Can we just skip this part?
Where I convince myself
There's no one else for me
And find any excuse
Just to drive down your street
Cuts to when cuts fade to scars
Can we just skip this part?

[Bridge]
Can we skip to the part
Where you’re lying awake
And realize that you
Made the biggest mistake
So you get in your car
And you speed down my street
And the rain starts to fall
And you fall to your knees
And I run down the stairs
Down the drive in bare feet
And you tell me that you
Haven't slept in a week
And I jump in your arms
And it all fades to black
But I'm still in your car
And you don't love me back
[Chorus]
Can we just skip this part?
Where you drive away
And I don’t know what to do
And I watch your taillights fade
In a shirt that smells like you
Then cry on the floor in the dark
Can we just skip this part?
Where I convince myself
There’s no one else for me
And I find any excuse
Just to drive down your street
Cut to when cuts fade to scars
Can we just skip this part?
Cut to your back in my arms
Can we just skip this part?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
