Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I gave you soft hands, soft faith

You gave me cold replies

I stayed up folding my hurt

You stayed out feeding lies

Now I read your silence quick

Like a note with torn-up edges

And I’m learning how to miss you

Without begging at your doorstep

[Pre-Chorus]

You too busy to see me fade

Too busy to say my name

I been standing in the doorway

While you act like I’m a flame

I don’t need your maybe-love

I don’t need your half-attention

If you blink, baby, watch me go

I’m already in suspension

[Chorus]

You’re too busy to notice

I’m close to walking away

(too busy, too busy)

I put my heart in new hands

And I won’t beg it to stay

(oh, you know)

You’re gonna hate how it feels

When I don’t look back your way

(you’ll regret it)

You’re too busy to notice

I’m close to walking away

[Verse 2]

You can keep your empty hours

And your late-night little excuses

I was drowning in your almost

In your maybe, in your uses

I learned love don’t live on promise

If it starves on every Sunday

So I’m packing up my softness

Letting someone else hold Monday

[Pre-Chorus]

You too busy to see me fade

Too busy to hear me change

I been shrinking in your shadow

While you call that love by name

I don’t need your halfway touch

I don’t need your borrowed effort

If you wait until I’m gone

Boy, that’s on you forever

[Chorus]

You’re too busy to notice

I’m close to walking away

(too busy, too busy)

I put my heart in new hands

And I won’t beg it to stay

(oh, you know)

You’re gonna hate how it feels

When I don’t look back your way

(you’ll regret it)

You’re too busy to notice

I’m close to walking away

[Bridge]

I was loyal, I was patient

I was gentle to the bone

But you left me talking to a wall

When I needed a home

Now I’m choosing what I deserve

Yeah, I’m choosing me

And the second I stop reaching

You’ll remember what I used to be

(ah, ah)

I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine

In somebody else’s arms tonight

[Final Chorus]

You’re too busy to notice

I’m close to walking away

(too busy, too busy)

I put my heart in new hands

And I won’t beg it to stay

(oh, you know)

You’re gonna hate how it feels

When I don’t look back your way

(you’ll regret it)

You’re too busy to notice

I’m close to walking away
