Empty Calories

[Intro build up] [Verse 1] Out of every option you chose me but you're more than I'm deserving and I never thought we'd come to this but maybe I could get used to it [Pre Chorus] my lips are still sweet like your lip gloss But it's bitter on the back of my tongue the aftertaste lingers like something artificial but I'm not yet ready to run [Chorus] I'm left wanting more, (can't be satisfied) and I keep coming back, (still have an appetite) but my gut and heart can't seem to agree Are you what I need or just empty calories? [Verse 2] You talk about a future of you with me I nod and smile to make you think I agree You're seeing a life with fence painted white But I can't see anything past tonight [Pre-Chorus 2] Your breath is hot against my neck and I love the way my heart burns but it keeps me up through the night I'll just lay here choking on my words [Second Chorus] I'm left wanting more, (can't be satisfied) But I keep coming back, (still have an appetite) And now we're building codependencies Are we something real or just empty calories? [break] [Verse 3] Our late night drives drove us closer It's a smooth ride, but I'm on a rollercoaster I've got devils on both my shoulders Filling my head with ways I'll hurt her [Pre-Chorus 3] I'm an addict for the good parts and you keep me buzzing like a sugar rush but hit the ground hard after the crash was this only meant to be a crush? [Final Chorus] I'm left wanting more, (can't be satisfied) and I keep coming back, (still have an appetite) Sure, I could leave, but don't have the decency I guess I'll just live on these empty calories?
