I'll break your heart instead

I hear the room fill with laughter
And then forget everything after
You stand there memorizing, I'm here barely breathing
There's something I should have said but I laughed along instead

You know what you want but you get what you said
That you know you've always said that you wanted instead
I know what I want and suddenly it's the sound
Of you off to the side saying I'm finally found

I hear your heart beating faster
But I'm unclear on what you're after
You give me no reason why I shouldn't say goodbye
I can't think what I could have said so I'll break your heart instead

You know what you want but you get what you said
That you know you've always said that you wanted instead
I know what I want and suddenly it's the sound
Of you off to the side saying I'm finally found
