I wait for your text like it’s oxygen

[Verse 1] I wait for your text like it’s oxygen Refresh the screen, again and again I type out a line, then I delete it Don’t wanna sound too desperate I rehearse the words inside my head But they never come out how I meant And when you finally say “I miss you” I don’t know what to do with that [Chorus] The truth is I always want more But I’m scared you’ll walk right out the door So I hold back Till it breaks me And pretend I’m fine when I’m empty And I hate the silence But I fear the noise So I sit still And lose my voice [Verse 2] You say I’m sweet, I’m easy to love But I feel like I’m always too much I count the spaces in your replies Like they mean something deep inside And I know you said you’re not leaving But my heart still runs from the feeling So I build a wall just to keep you Then I cry when I can’t reach you [Chorus] The truth is I always want more But I’m scared you’ll walk right out the door So I hold back Till it breaks me And pretend I’m fine when I’m empty And I hate the silence But I fear the noise So I sit still And lose my voice [Bridge] I just want to say “Don’t go” But it echoes back too slow And I smile like I’m okay But I’m breaking every day [Final Chorus] The truth is I need you to know That I care too loud but I move too slow So I hold back Till it shakes me And pretend I’m calm when I’m aching And I hate the silence But I fear the noise So I sit still And lose my voice
