[Verse 1]
You say it's love
But you move like a secret
Smiling in public
Then ghosting my feelings
You turn your phone
Face-down on the table
Call that “space”
I call it a fable
[Pre-Chorus]
You play safe, I play scarred
You keep all your little tells in the dark
Say it’s “for my own good,” that’s the part
That cuts sharp
[Chorus]
So you don't wanna talk, you wanna catch me off guard
Keep me guessing in the dark, in the dark, in the dark (oh)
What kind of heart does that?
Call that love, then pull it back
So you don't wanna talk, you wanna catch me off guard
Leave me hanging while you guard your cards
What kind of love is that?
Say it’s care, then turn your back
[Verse 2]
You send a text
Then you vanish for hours
Blame all your issues
On “bad timing” and power
You call me “crazy”
When I ask where you’ve been
You twist the story
Till I’m doubting my skin
[Pre-Chorus]
You play safe, I play scarred
You keep all your little tells in the dark
Say it’s “for my own good,” that’s the part
That leaves marks
[Chorus]
So you don't wanna talk, you wanna catch me off guard
Keep me guessing in the dark, in the dark, in the dark (yeah)
What kind of heart does that?
Call that love, then pull it back
So you don't wanna talk, you wanna catch me off guard
Leave me hanging while you guard your cards
What kind of love is that?
Say it’s care, then turn your back
[Bridge]
IDK, maybe I
Shouldn’t have to justify
Why I need a little truth
Just a straight line from you
IDK, maybe I’m
Better off past your lies
‘Cause silence is still a choice
And you weaponize your voice
[Chorus]
So you don't wanna talk, you wanna catch me off guard
Keep me guessing in the dark, in the dark, in the dark (oh)
What kind of heart does that?
Call that love, then pull it back
So you don't wanna talk, you wanna catch me off guard
Leave me hanging while you guard your cards
What kind of love is that?
Say it’s care, then turn your back
