[Verse 1]
Told you that I’d change, I been changin’
Late night drives, heart racin’
Phone on mute, I’m all in
Still you say I’m distant, I’m fallin’
I cancel my plans for you
You say, “That’s not what I asked you to do”
You want words, I give actions
You want fire, I bring ashes
[Chorus]
I try so hard to love you right
But it’s never enough, never your type
You say “I feel alone” when I hold you tight
Tell me what to do
Tell me what to do
If the way I love you doesn’t feel like love to you
I’m breaking myself just to break through
If it’s not what you want, then how do I move?
Tell me what to do
Tell me what to do
[Verse 2]
You want deep talks, I get quiet
You read silence like I’m lyin’
I bring gifts, you bring questions
“Why can’t you just give affection?”
You want poems in the kitchen light
I’m just tryna get your name right
In a prayer I say at night
You don’t see that side
[Bridge]
Do you want me to change my language?
Turn my scars into pretty patterns?
If I bleed in a thousand colors
Will you finally say it matters?
‘Cause I’m here, but you don’t feel it
I’m loud, but you don’t hear it
Am I loving you wrong, or loving you too much?
Or am I just not enough? (oh)
[Chorus]
I try so hard to love you right
But it’s never enough, never your type
You say “I feel alone” when I hold you tight
Tell me what to do
Tell me what to do
If the way I love you doesn’t feel like love to you
I’m breaking myself just to break through
If it’s not what you want, then how do I move?
Tell me what to do
Tell me what to do
