You can't find the phone, so you can call it off
But it might be for the best
You can't walk away, anyway
'Cause you've nowhere else to go

Is he worth all this, is it a simple yes
'Cause if you have to think, it's fucked
Feels like you've loved him more than he loved you
And you wish you'd never met

Don't keel over now
Don't keel over
Don't keel over now
Don't keel over

You've been up all night and the night before
And you've lost count of drinks and time
And your friends keep calling, worried sick
And there's strangers everywhere

Don't keel over now
Don't keel over
Don't keel over now
Don't keel over

And in one little moment, it all implodes
This isn't everything you are
Breathe deeply in the silence, no sudden moves
This isn't everything you are

Just take the hand that's offered, and hold on tight
This isn't everything you are
There's joy not far from here, I, I know there is
This isn't everything you are

When you took the call, how could you know
That he'd slipped away last night
When you wish you'd went home days ago
To say goodbye, or just hello

Don't keel over now
Don't keel over
Don't keel over now
Don't keel over

And in one little moment, it all implodes
This isn't everything you are
Breathe deeply in the silence, no sudden moves
This isn't everything you are

Just take the hand that's offered, and hold on tight
This isn't everything you are
There's joy not far from here, I, I know there is
This isn't everything you are

This isn't everything you are
This isn't everything you are
