[Verse 1]
You call when the room goes dark
I come through, I play my part
Your hands know every line
But your heart stays out of time
I keep my phone face down
Still your name lights up my doubt
I laugh like I’m okay
Then I feel it slip away
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me what this is
If it’s just for the night
Why do I keep hoping
You might look at me right
[Chorus]
More than benefits
That’s what I wanted
More than benefits
But you never saw it
I keep on reaching
You keep on drifting
More than benefits
And I’m still lifting
[Verse 2]
Your shirt on my bedroom chair
Your shoes by the kitchen stair
Little things I start to miss
Like they mean a thing in this
You say, “Don’t make it hard”
Like my chest is not scarred
But I’m tired of the frame
Where I’m the one who takes the blame
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me what this is
If you want me close
Why do I feel like
I’m the one let go
[Chorus]
More than benefits
That’s what I wanted
More than benefits
But you never saw it
I keep on reaching
You keep on drifting
More than benefits
And I’m still lifting
[Bridge]
I held your silence
Like it was enough
Now I’m seeing clearly
I was loving too much
If you can’t meet me there
Then I can’t stay small
I wanted more
I wanted it all
[Chorus]
More than benefits
That’s what I wanted
More than benefits
But you never saw it
I keep on reaching
You keep on drifting
More than benefits
And I’m done lifting
