[Intro] Bell above the door. Warm light. White tile. Flour on your hands. I forgot every line I thought I had. [Verse 1] You looked up. I looked away. Like I didn't come in Just to hear you say my name. One smile. One breath. One dangerous little word I kept behind my teeth. I said I wanted something fresh. Something warm. Something only you could give. You reached for the menu. I reached for your eyes. We were never on the same page. [Pre-Chorus] You measure every ounce But never read my face. You follow every recipe But miss the way I wait. I keep leaving sparks All over the room. You keep asking What I want from you. [Chorus] I wanted something sweet. Something warm. Something closer than the glass. You smiled like you understood Then let the moment pass. Every little look Fell through the cracks. Every little chance Never made it back. I wanted something Only you could give. But you never read between the lines. Not yet. Not this time. [Verse 2] You asked if I wanted Extra cream on the side. I almost lost my nerve. I almost said it right. I leaned on the counter. You checked the time. God, you're so careful It should be a crime. Red hair. Soft laugh. Too much heat For someone so sweet You said, "Anything else?" I said, "Use your imagination." You wrote down my order. Wrong interpretation. [Pre-Chorus] You measure every ounce But never read my face. You follow every recipe But miss the way I wait. One more signal. One more try. One more spark You let go by. [Chorus] Make me a cream pie. You set it down In a little white box. Smiled like you finally Figured me out. Baby, You were so close. Every little look Fell through the cracks. Every little chance Never made it back. I wanted something Only you could give. That's... Not what I meant. [Bridge] Maybe I'm too subtle. Maybe you're too sweet. Maybe every signal Gets buried underneath. You can bake perfection. You can take your time. But somehow You still miss The meaning in my eyes. I don't need the menu. I don't need the plate. I don't need another reason To stay. [Breakdown] READ! THE! ROOM! Every signal MISSED! Every glance MISSED! Every chance MISSED! You're still Reading The recipe! I didn't come here For dessert! I came here For you. THAT'S! NOT! WHAT! I! MEANT! [Final Chorus] I wanted a cream pie. You gave me exactly What I asked. Somehow still missed Everything I meant. Warm hands. Sweet smile. Zero clue. Maybe that's exactly Why I keep coming back to you. Hoping for the day Every little look Finally lands. Every little spark Gets out of hand. I wanted something Only you could give. That's... Not what I meant. [Outro] You said, "Come again tomorrow?" I said, "Maybe." Then you smiled Like you almost got it.
