Stay like this mmm
You call a truce when I'm elbow deep in dishes
Smiling like we ain't got unfinished business
You want the laugh, the touch, the temporary high
But I'm tired of hellos that always follow with goodbyes
Don't call a truce
If you're gonna do it again
Don't pull me close
If staying isn't the plan
You look at me like you want me
But for how long?
We find our way back to each other
Then boom, it's gone
So forgive me if I don't trust it
I've already heard this song
I don't need another truce
Another temporary thing
I want somebody who stays
And a desire that never leaves
I need something that survives
Something that brings me alive
Just wanna feel that spark
Light a fire inside my heart
Here you come again
With that devilish grin
Like you ain't been avoiding me all week
Got me rolling my eyes
Telling you get off me
But I hate how much
I want you to need me
Funny how a conversation
Can hold a mirror to your soul
Make you realize you've been starving
On crumbs when you need much more
I wasn't looking for nobody
Wasn't trying to compare
But hearing what love sounds like
Made me notice what wasn't there
Maybe you were never the lesson
Maybe you were just the proof
A mirror showing me the difference
Between attention and the truth
Cause I got so used to almost
I forgot what I deserved
Got comfortable with crumbs of love
And forgot about my worth
Spent years turning silence
Into words I never heard
I wasn't chasing somebody else
I was chasing how I felt
The version of me that came alive
When I stopped settling for less
Now I see the difference
Between being wanted...
And being kept
So if you're gonna call a truce
Then stay like this a little longer
Don't disappear when the hard times hit
Don't make me fall back into you
Just to leave me wondering if
Every smile was temporary
Every touch was just a fix
If you're gonna hold me tonight
Then stay like this
Cause I don't need another moment
I need something that remains
When the laughter quits
And we're staring at the pain
I don't need perfect timing
I don't need a grand event
I just need to know your love
Still exists when the magic ends
I need more than passing glances
More than laughing for a while
I've been hungry for passion
But settling for a smile
I need a passion that survives
When the moment fades away
The kind that makes me feel desired
Even when there's nothing left to say
Maybe that's why I pull away
When you reach for me sometimes
Cause I've learned not to trust the feelin
When it fades all the time
It's not the touch that scares me
It's losing it again
Getting a glimpse of what I need
Then watching it end
Somewhere along the way I noticed
I've been settling for less
Getting pieces of a picture
Trying to call it happiness
I don't need perfect
I just need honest
Cause the hardest part ain't losing you
It's never knowing who you'll be
So if you're gonna hold me...
Hold me like you mean it
If you're gonna love me...
Do it with intent
Stay like this
Stay like this
