It’s gonna take some getting used to
Any attention from you
‘Cause I don’t wanna make the wrong move
You know I care about us too
Naturally I’m nervous and I’m trying not to be
But then I start thinking if i let you in
You won't like what you see
It’s making me quieter and quieter and quieter and quieter...
I know its not on purpose
It’s actually more my fault than yours
But I feel like I don’t deserve you
I’m still a little immature
Its only cause I think too much it gets so dark sometimes
And when you say you wanna get to know me
I’m convinced that it’s a lie
It’s making me quieter and quieter
More closed off, more unsure
I’m giving you everything that I can give
And still I want to give you more
And there are things I haven’t told you
About myself I can’t afford to
Oh, I’m trying to be more open
But it’s harder than you think
I never had a social life
I never knew what love was like
And I don’t know what is wrong and what is right
I don’t know what I’m still supposed to hide
I’m trying to be more open, be more open
But I can’t let you inside
I’m trying to be more open, be more open
But I can’t let you inside
I’m trying to be more open, be more open
But I can’t let you inside
Oh I’m trying

Trying to ignore the signs
Cause I don’t know if I should trust them
I’m safer when I’m by myself
Maybe if I close my eyes, you will fade away
Nervous if you touch me
it might be electric
And I know I can’t control myself
Fingers tracing every line
Draw me into your space
Don’t get too close to me
Don’t get too close
You’re telling me our stars are aligned
I just gotta dismiss you
I can’t fall into this
Don’t make me wish that
you were mine
Whatever feelings we have at the moment
I hope they’ll be gone by tomorrow
We just have tonight in our hands so let’s hold it
And then we need to let it go
This shit is temporary (x4)
Why do I give you the time
When I know it isn’t healthy?
When I know I should protect myself
Every time I draw a line
It disintegrates
Mmm you’re kissing on my neck and
Suddenly I’m breathless
If I had a voice I’d tell you
I’m just trying to get you off my mind
Get you out my way
(you’re under my skin I’m wasting my time)
Whatever feelings we have at the moment
I know they’ll be gone by tomorrow
We just have tonight in our hands so let’s hold it
And then we need to let it go
This shit is temporary (x4)
You’re under my skin I’m wasting my time
(You’re under my skin I’m wasting my time)
Your lips on my lips, I’m losing my mind
(Your lips on my lips, I’m losing my mind)
(time)
Don’t make me wish that you were mine
Whatever feelings we have at the
moment
I know they’ll be gone by tomorrow
We just have tonight in our hands so let’s hold it
And then we need to let it go
This shit is temporary (x4)

How self aware are you really?
Asking cause of how you deal with me
Are you just too immature, you can’t take the lead?
Don’t text me back, like it’s not that deep
But I know you’re laying there missing me
What are you trying to protect, your own self esteem?
Why you keeping me waiting
Taking your time?
Sick and tired of watching you miss every sign
Love me like it's an emergency
Kiss me with a little urgency
Don’t act like you can take it or leave it
Don’t you know I'm not afraid to be leaving?
Love me like it's an emergency
I’m always on call, what you want from me?
Not gonna be petty cause it’s overrated
Just want my energy reciprocated
Shouldn’t be hard to be real with me
Feels like I’m just forcing everything
Just wanna understand how you want things to be
So unavailable mentally
You're hot then you’re cold, and it gets to me
Just wanna be what you need
(Am I being needy right now?)
Why you keeping me guessing
What’s on your mind?
So afraid of rejection, you don’t even try
Love me like it's an emergency
Kiss me with a little urgency
Don’t act like you can take it or leave it
Don’t you know I'm not afraid to be leaving?
Love me like it's an emergency
I’m always on call, what you want from me?
Not gonna be petty cause it’s overrated
Just want my energy reciprocated
And if it isn’t I'll just go
Show myself out your door
Love me like it's an emergency
Love me like it's an emergency
Love me, yeah
Should’ve paid attention
Now it’s too damn late
Critical condition
I’m slipping away..

I can taste something bitter in the sweetness
There’s an aching in my lungs ‘cause I’m not breathing
I break myself to pieces, test my patience,
Craving just a little validation
When will i start feeling like I’m good enough for you?
Only happy if you’re happy for me
Dying every second you ignore me
Now all my self-worth depends on you
When did I become so desperate?
When did I become so insecure?
I hate myself so you can love me more
When did I become so desperate?
Break the mirror on my bedroom door,
How much longer can I do this for?
Do this for
Scared that nothing that I say is gonna convince me
Need to hear it come from you or I don’t sleep
I spend my free time wishing I was different
New identities and new beginnings
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do
When did I become so desperate?
When did I become so insecure?
I hate myself so you can love me more
When did I become so desperate?
Break the mirror on my bedroom door,
How much longer can I do this for?
Do this for
When did I become so insecure?
I hate myself so you can love me more
When did I become so desperate?
yeah
I break the mirror on my bedroom door
When did I become so,
When did I become so,
I hate myself so you can love me more
I need you to love me,
Love me,
Love me

Calm down. You’re spiraling
You’re trying to ignore what’s in your head
Don’t lose your sight of things again
This game is tiring
Why are you even trying to impress
Somebody who won’t hear a thing you’ve said
You know I’d be lying
If I said I didn’t want attention
But this is not the price I want to pay
For your affection
I’m sick of trying so damn hard
I’m sick of looking desperate
I’m tired, I want to go home
If this is what I have to do
for love
Then I’d rather be alone
I’d rather be alone
