[Verse 1]
You left your sweater on my chair
Coffee stain shaped like your name
Your ghost still breathing in the air
I talk to shadows
They all sound the same
[Pre-Chorus]
I replay what you never said
Every maybe stuck in my head
If I broke it
Why can’t I see
The crack where you stopped needing me
[Chorus]
Why don’t you love me
Say it straight
Don’t hide this time (this time)
Rip out the pages
Of every almost
Every lie
If I’m so easy
To leave behind like cheap white wine
Why don’t you love me
Or were you just killing time
[Verse 2]
Your friends still like my stupid posts
You changed your hair
I heard from Joe
He said you laugh like you saw God
But you looked bored when you had my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Were you waiting for an excuse
Just one fight so you could cut loose
Did you ever fall into me
Or just trace circles on my sleeve
[Chorus]
Why don’t you love me
Say it straight
Don’t hide this time (hey)
Rip out the pages
Of every almost
Every lie
If I’m so easy
To leave behind like cheap white wine
Why don’t you love me
Or were you just killing time
[Drop]
[Bass and drums hit
Vocal chopped: “Why don’t you—why don’t you—love me”]
[Bridge]
Maybe you’re right
I cared too much
Held on too hard
Called it “us”
But you were already walking out
Smiling like you’d figured me out (oh)
[Chorus]
Why don’t you love me
Say it straight
Don’t hide this time
Rip out the pages
Of every almost
Every lie
If I’m so easy
To leave behind like cheap white wine
Why don’t you love me
Why don’t you
Why don’t you try
