Picking lines for this song is difficult because the whole song is absolutely perfect for a breakup. No one line could possibly do it justice. But if I must:
“Take your eyes off of me so I can leave. I’m far too ashamed to do it with you watching me”
“It feels like we’re oceans apart, there is so much space between us”
