Why am I like this

Why do I even try?

I keep my phone face down

Still your name burns through

Like a match in my mouth

I read the signs wrong

Every little touch

I build a whole house

You barely call it trust

I want this to work

I want it to stay

But you keep me waiting

Like I’m in the way

And I hate that I

Still hope when you call

I’m holding my breath

At the bottom of it all

It’s a one sided love

(one sided love)

I keep giving, you keep shrugging

It’s a one sided love

(one sided love)

And I’m tired of the wanting

If it can’t be us

Then let me go

Let me go

Let me go

I know your words now

They come and they go

Sweet for a second

Then they leave me cold

I trace your shadow

On the edge of my bed

Try to untie you

From the back of my head

I want this to work

I want it to stay

But you keep me waiting

Like I’m in the way

And I hate that I

Still hope when you call

I’m holding my breath

At the bottom of it all

It’s a one sided love

(one sided love)

I keep giving, you keep shrugging

It’s a one sided love

(one sided love)

And I’m tired of the wanting

If it can’t be us

Then let me go

Let me go

Let me go

I don’t need forever

I just need a door

Something I can close

Without begging for more

If you won’t meet me

Halfway through the dark

Don’t leave me stranded

With your shape in my heart

It’s a one sided love

(one sided love)

I keep giving, you keep shrugging

It’s a one sided love

(one sided love)

And I’m done with the wanting

If it can’t be us

Then let me go

Let me go

Let me go

It’s a one sided love

(one sided love)

Am I finally ready to move on?
