[Verse 1] Never have I tried It was over when you sighed Every shrug Every side-eye Said more than your replies Distrust in every touch Every syllable too much Broken promises Receipts Stuffed in pockets of the sheets [Chorus] Placeholder at your service Crown me when it’s safe to lose You call me king when you’re nervous But you’re scrolling through your “maybes” too If you knew how I play you too (oh) You’d hate how much I look like you Placeholder at your service Waiting while you weigh your truth [Verse 2] Memories filled up patience Overdrafted expectations You rehearse the same excuses Soft voice Sharp evasions Saying “this is temporary” But you carve me in your plans You keep keys to three apartments Still pretend you’re “not that planned” [Chorus] Placeholder at your service Crown me when it’s safe to lose You call me king when you’re nervous But you’re scrolling through your “maybes” too If you knew how I play you too (yeah) You’d hate how much I look like you Placeholder at your service Learning every trick from you
