[Verse 1]
You hit me with a “k”
Disappear the same day
I’m typing out a novel
You skim it like a hallway sign
You say you’re “so confused”
But you know what you’re doing
You cancel our plans
Then post from somewhere new again
[Pre-Chorus]
You say you hate these games
But you keep the score
You only call my name
When you’re a little bored
[Chorus]
You just want attention
Attention
But you never look my direction
Pull me close just to push me off
Swipe my heart like it’s something small
Yeah
You love the tension
The tension
I’m the fuel for your reflection
I keep waiting on a sign from you
But your love’s on read
Nothing gets through
[Verse 2]
You double-tap at 2
Like that’s supposed to prove
There’s anything between us
Besides you needing one more view
You ask about my day
Then drift out of the chat
You say you “miss my face”
Then never call me back
[Pre-Chorus]
You say you’re scared to fall
But you lean so near
You let my hopes get tall
Then vanish
Crystal clear
[Chorus]
You just want attention
Attention
But you never look my direction
Pull me close just to push me off
Swipe my heart like it’s something small
Yeah
You love the tension
The tension
I’m the fuel for your reflection
I keep waiting on a sign from you
But your love’s on read
Nothing gets through
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m the problem
I keep picking up the phone (oh)
Laughing at the dry replies
Like they’re anything but cold
I know I should let go
But I’m hooked on that rush
Every time you say my name
Then leave me starved for touch
[Chorus]
You just want attention
Attention
And I keep making the exception
Let you in just to shut me out
Hear your silence louder than your shouts
Yeah
You love the tension
The tension
But I’m losing my affection
I’m so tired of the half-way truth
If I chase you
I just lose me too
[Outro]
You hit me with a “k”
I hover
Then erase
Guess I’ll give my attention
To someone who can give it back someday (someday)
