Verse 1 You brought my coffee How I like it Didn’t even have to ask Put my phone On your charger When you saw it dying fast You remembered That little story I told you weeks ago Then looked confused When I got quiet Like you really didn’t know See, I can handle You wanting me I know exactly What to do with that But this whole Paying attention thing Boy… I don’t know How to act ⸻ Pre-Chorus I told you Keep it simple You said “Who made it hard?” Now you’re doing Little things That keep getting Past my guard I know what You’re doing Even if you swear You’re not So before I get accustomed… Baby Don’t start ⸻ Chorus Don’t start Remembering how I take my coffee Don’t start Calling just to check up on me Don’t start Making room for me in your life If you’re only here For a good time Don’t start Showing up when I don’t ask Don’t start Making easy out of things I’ve always had to carry ’Cause I might Get used to this And baby… That’s the scary part Don’t start ⸻ Verse 2 You keep a blanket On your couch now ’Cause you know I’m always cold Got that wine I said I liked once Sitting there beside the stove And last night When my day went bad You didn’t try to fix a thing Just let me talk Until I ran out Then pulled me close And let me breathe See, that’s the kind Of stuff I notice Even when I act like I don’t You make being cared for Look so normal And I’m still learning How to let it Be ⸻ Pre-Chorus I told you I don’t need nobody You said “I never said you did” Then you took The bags I carried Like it wasn’t Even deep And I hated How that felt good More than I thought It would So before You make this normal… Baby Don’t ⸻ Chorus Don’t start Remembering how I take my coffee Don’t start Calling just to check up on me Don’t start Making room for me in your life If you’re only here For a good time Don’t start Showing up when I don’t ask Don’t start Making easy out of things I’ve always had to carry ’Cause I might Get used to this And baby… That’s the scary part Don’t start ⸻ Bridge It’s not that I don’t want it That would make this So much easier Truth is… I could get used To somebody asking If I made it home Somebody noticing When I’m tired Somebody saying “Give me that” Before I even know I need the help I’ve been needed By everybody For so long I forgot Being loved Could feel like Being considered So if this Is temporary… Please Don’t make it Feel this safe ⸻ Final Chorus Don’t stop Remembering how I take my coffee Don’t stop Calling just to check up on me Don’t stop Making room for me in your life If you’re really here For more this time Don’t stop Showing up when I don’t ask Don’t stop Making easy out of things I thought I had to carry I think I could Get used to this And baby… Maybe that’s The best part Don’t stop ⸻ Outro Look at you… Got me changing The whole damn chorus. Just… Don’t make me Regret it.
