[Verse 1] You hit my line at noon When the favors bloom I see the same old name Then the silence comes back soon I used to know your days Now I'm just a phase A place you come to take Then you fade away [Pre-Chorus] I keep my phone face down Still it shakes sometimes I read between the gaps I know what that means If I don't have what you need You don't have time for me That's the part that stings That's the part I feel [Chorus] Only when you need me Only when you need me You come around Only when you need me Only when you need me Then you back out [Verse 2] I give too much, too fast You take and let it pass My name becomes a tool In the middle of your ask I don't want pity calls I don't want borrowed love I want a real hello I want enough [Pre-Chorus] I keep my phone face down Still it shakes sometimes I read between the gaps I know what that means If I don't have what you need You don't have time for me That's the part that stings That's the part I feel [Chorus] Only when you need me Only when you need me You come around Only when you need me Only when you need me Then you back out [Bridge] Maybe I should say less Maybe let it ring Maybe save my good heart For a better thing If you want me, show up Empty hands, no deal Say my name for me Not just what I can heal [Chorus] Only when you need me Only when you need me You come around Only when you need me Only when you need me Then you back out
