V5

[VERSE 1] It’s another night alone staring at the ceiling, trying to make sense of this empty space in my chest. I keep telling myself I shouldn’t need you, but wanting you is the part I do best. [PRE-CHORUS] And I know I shouldn’t wait around for something you won’t say, but every time my phone lights up, I hope it’s you anyway. [CHORUS] I keep checking my phone like it’s something holy, hoping your name lights up the dark. I just wanna be wanted by someone I want— is that really too much for a heart? [VERSE 2] I’ve been trying to fill the silence with distractions, but nothing really drowns out the thought of you. I tell my friends I’m fine, but I’m so tired of lying, ’cause wanting you is the only thing that feels true. [PRE-CHORUS] And I know I shouldn’t wait around for something you won’t say, but every time my phone lights up, I hope it’s you anyway. [CHORUS] I keep checking my phone like it’s something holy, hoping your name lights up the dark. I just wanna be wanted by someone I want— is that really too much for a heart? [BRIDGE] Maybe I’m scared you’ll never feel the same, and I’ll be here wanting what I can’t touch. I try to walk away, but every time I do, my heart reminds me you’re the one I want too much. [POST-CHORUS] Just once I want to hear you say you feel the same way too. Just once I want to hear you say you feel the same way too.
