Listen up 'cause I'm only gonna say this once
Listen up 'cause I don't wanna repeat it twice
(x2)

Well I know I'm not what you wanted
But I've been holding out for anything
Holding out for anything I can
You keep me in focus
But I might as well be on the back of your favorite photograph

Cut the cord from me
And you wake up from all the dreams that you've been giving up
She hit the nail on my head when she said
"I won't buckle down for anyone"
In so many words
In so many words
"I won't buckle down for anyone"
It'll be the last you hear from me (x2)

Listen up 'cause I'm only gonna say this once
Listen up 'cause I don't wanna repeat it twice

Well I know I'm not what you wanted
But I've been holding out for anything
Holding out for anything I can
You keep me in focus
But I might as well be on the back of your favorite photograph

Cut the cord from me
And you wake up from all the dreams that you've been giving up
She hit the nail on my head when she said
"I won't buckle down for anyone"
In so many words
In so many words
"I won't buckle down for anyone"
It'll be the last you hear from me (x2)

Listen up 'cause I'm only gonna say this once
Listen up 'cause I don't wanna repeat it twice
(x5)

(Wake up and cut the cord from me) (x2)

"I won't buckle down" (x3)

(Wake up and cut the cord from me) (x4)

Listen up 'cause I'm only gonna say this once
