Drunken texts

2:13, I’m staring at your name

Phone in my hand, liquor running through my veins

I know I shouldn’t call, I know better than that

But every time I drink, I start wanting you back

You probably with him, probably somewhere laughing

I’m three drinks deep, and I’m done with pretending

I know this ain’t right, but I’m losing the fight

So I pick up my phone and I text you tonight

⸻

Black bottle, black thoughts, room dark

Your last goodbye still left a mark

Said you moved on, said you’re doing fine

But I still check your story just to see if you’re online

New man in the picture, yeah, I saw that shit

Told myself I wouldn’t care, but I lied about it

I zoomed in on the photo, looking for a sign

Trying to find a reason that your heart’s still mine

You look happy, damn, that’s cold

Guess somebody else got what I couldn’t hold

I deleted your number, then I saved it again

Funny how “I hate you” turns into “come back”

I know your habits, I know your games

Know exactly when you’re gonna say my name

You know my weakness, you know where I hide

That’s why every time I leave, I’m right back by your side

⸻

I got your number memorized

Even though I deleted it twice

I told myself, “Don’t hit send”

Then I poured another drink instead

Who’s with you?

Where you at?

Why you ain’t called me back?

One more sip, one more lie

Now I’m typing, “You up?” tonight

⸻

Drunk text, drunk text

“You up?” — late night

Drunk text, drunk text

“You mine?” — tonight

One more shot

I call you tonight

One more shot

I fall right back tonight

Where you at?

Don’t hide tonight

Who you with?

Tell me who’s by your side

Drunk text, drunk text

“I hate you” — goodnight

Drunk text, drunk text

“I need you” — tonight

Said I’m done

But I lied tonight

Said don’t call

Still I dial tonight

I block you

Then I call your line

You leave me

Then you’re back by midnight

Drunk text, drunk text

Come ruin my night

Drunk text, drunk text

Come make it alright

⸻

We got a fucked-up kind of chemistry

You bring the worst and the best out of me

You say, “Don’t come,” but you leave that door unlocked

Then you watch my name light up your phone on the clock

You block me, I block you

Then midnight makes us both tell the truth

You say you’re over me, okay, that’s cool

Then why you answer every time I break the rules?

I know you still think about the nights we had

The good was good, but the bad was bad

We could turn one kiss into a full-blown war

Then wake up tangled like we weren’t fighting before

You know how to push me, I know how to pull

Both of us toxic, neither one stays cool

You say, “I hate you,” with your hand on my chest

Then whisper, “Don’t leave” when I’m halfway out the bed

That’s our problem, we know too much
