Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 You walk in like you always do No knocking, just straight to my room You talk like nothing’s ever changed But I swear nothing feels the same You’re in my hoodie on the floor Like you’ve been here a thousand times before And I keep acting like it’s fine Like you’re not always on my mind ⸻ Pre-Chorus I don’t know when it started But I can’t stop it now ⸻ Chorus I don’t wanna ruin us Don’t wanna be the reason You don’t show up anymore I don’t wanna say too much And watch you pull away Like I’ve seen you do before ‘Cause you’re not just someone I could lose You’re every part of “home” I’ve known So I’d rather keep this killing me Than risk being alone ⸻ Verse 2 They joke about us all the time Say “you guys would make sense, right?” And I just laugh it off like you Like it’s something we’d never do But it’s in the way I look at you Then look away like I’m supposed to Like if I stare a second more You’ll see everything I’m hiding for ⸻ Pre-Chorus And I think you feel it too But neither of us moves ⸻ Chorus I don’t wanna ruin us Don’t wanna cross that line And lose the only thing that’s real I don’t wanna mess it up Turn everything we are Into something we can’t heal ‘Cause you’re not just someone I could choose You’re the one I can’t undo So I’ll keep pretending I don’t Feel the way I do ⸻ Bridge (low, breaking a little) If I told you, would you stay? Or would everything just change? Would your mom still call me over? Would your dad say my name the same? Would we still sit in your driveway Talking till like 2 AM? Or would I lose you all at once Just for telling you how it’s been? ⸻ Final Chorus (more vulnerable) I don’t wanna ruin us But I don’t know how to keep Feeling this and staying quiet ‘Cause every time you’re close to me It’s getting harder just to be Someone who can keep denying And maybe I’m a little selfish ‘Cause I want you more than this But I’d give up everything I feel If it means I don’t lose you in it
