[VERSE 1 - sung, clean] In the back of your car Calling what you want For you, you say you want to go far (Mmm) [spoken, loud confidence, slightly off-beat] Look-nobody's doing it like this, okay? Nobody. They all say it In the back of the bar You don't even look In my eyes, now I'm guessing where you are Where you are [spoken, dismissive spin] I know exactly where you are. Everybody knows. Very obvious [PRE-CHORUS - sung] Baby, when you're faded You make it complicated [spoken, interrupting] Not complicated. Simple. Very simple. People don't understand how simple [CHORUS - sung, emotional anchor] You, you only want me when you're sober You only want me when it's over You only want me when you're sober [spoken, overlapping, brag + denial] Totally fine. I don't even care. I could leave anytime You, you only want me when they're all gone If you're messed up then I'm all wrong No composure [spoken, defensive flex] I have incredible composure. The best composure, actually [VERSE 2 - sung] You're messing with my head Don't you want me instead? You should want me out with you You and all your friends [spoken, spiraling confidence] They all want me there. Everybody. They say, "Why aren't you here?" I say, I don't need to be there [PRE-CHORUS - sung] Baby, when you're faded You make it complicated [spoken, quieter crack] Only when it works for you [CHORUS - fuller, layered] (same as above) [BRIDGE - mostly spoken, the mask slips a bit] [beat drops softer] Look- I've been very patient Tremendous patience (pause) But it's always the same thing Always (softer) You show up... when everything else is gone [FINAL CHORUS - sung, more resolved] (same chorus, stronger delivery) [OUTRO - spoken + sung blend] You only want me when you're sober... [spoken, calm, final turn] And when you're not... that's when you talk the most
