[Verse 1]
You show up late
Say you’re tired
Say you’re stressed
I’m cooking food you never eat
I’m paying bills
You pay in sex
You scroll my face
Like a feed you’ve seen too much
You call me “babe” when you want things
You call me “friend” when it’s too much
[Pre-Chorus]
My friends keep asking why I stay
I change the subject
Joke it away
‘Cause if I name it
Then it’s real
And if it’s real
I’ve got to leave
[Chorus]
I’m a slave to the love I bought
Chained to the weight of every thought
Every hour
Every flight
Every fight we fought
Feels like a debt I can’t write off
I’m in too deep to call it wrong
So I call it “ours” and I play along
If I walk out now
What was it all for?
So I lock my heart back in your drawer
[Verse 2]
You say you’ll change
Right after this one last excuse
You cry on me
I hold you tight
Then you go ghost
I make it cute
I buy your dreams
You keep the tags on every lie
You say you’re scared the world will judge
I say I’m fine
Then cry at night
[Pre-Chorus]
I practice leaving every day
Pack up my courage
Pack my shame
But all these memories in this room
Feel like receipts I can’t tear through
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m scared I’m just a bruise on your youth
Just a phase you’ll fold and lose
Maybe I’m scared I don’t know who I’d be
If I’m not the one who bends his knees
You say you love me
Then you look away
I kiss your shoulder
Still I stay
Tell me
Is this love
Or just a long con?
If it is
Why do I want it so wrong?
[Chorus]
