[Verse 1]
You leave me hanging, again
Phone face-down, no name
I needed you right there
You turned it into a game
Cold coffee on the counter
Your jacket on my chair
I kept the door unlocked
Like you would ever care
[Pre-Chorus]
I waited on the steps
I waited through the rain
You always had a reason
To miss the whole thing again
[Chorus]
Never there when I need you
Never there, never there
You act like I'm easy
Like I won't get you back
Never there when I need you
But I know your kind
You made your own mess
Now I get mine
[Verse 2]
You borrow my good faith
Then break it in your hands
Smile like it's harmless
Like I don't understand
I saw the pattern coming
Saw it in your eyes
You only show up
When the smoke has died
[Pre-Chorus]
I held my breath for you
That was my mistake
You took the softest part of me
And called it what you take
[Chorus]
Never there when I need you
Never there, never there
You act like I'm easy
Like I won't get you back
Never there when I need you
But I know your kind
You made your own mess
Now I get mine
[Bridge]
You want me small
You want me still
You want me broken
Standing where you will
But I learned your shape
I learned your lies
I turned your silence
Right back on your life
[Final Chorus]
Never there when I need you
Never there, never there
You act like I'm easy
Like I won't get you back
Never there when I need you
Now look me in the eye
You built this whole fire
Now I let it rise
Never there when I need you
Never there, never there
You missed your last chance
I got even right there
