Once or Twice a Month

Verse 1:

I see the effort, I won’t lie

I see the car outside

But love shouldn’t feel scheduled

Like it only shows up sometimes

You say you’re trying your best

And I know that you are

But trying once or twice a month

Still leaves an empty heart

Verse 2:

When we meet, I want you close

No friends, no noise, just us

I wait all month to feel your arms

So every minute means too much

You said you’re good with money

I pretended not to hear

I don’t need richer pockets

I just need you right here

Pre-Chorus:

When I talk, you say you hear me

But you don’t feel what I feel

I’m tired of explaining pain

That you think ain’t that real

Chorus:

What’s the point of the car

If it don’t drive you to me

What’s the point of “I love you”

If I still feel lonely

Valentine’s came and went

Like it didn’t mean a thing

I don’t want perfect love

I just want more than “trying”

Bridge (Soft & Emotional):

When I complain, you change

For a week, you say more

Then we drift back to normal

And I miss what I felt before

I’m not leaving, I’m just asking

To be loved out loud

Not just when I’m breaking down

But when we’re safe and proud

Outro (Repeat Section)

Love shouldn’t feel like sometimes…

Love shouldn’t feel like once or twice…

I don’t want sometimes…

I want all the time…

Don’t love me part-time…

Don’t love me sometimes…

I’m not asking for everything…

Just more than once or twice…

Just more than once or twice…

Just more than once or twice…

🎙 Spoken Ending (Music almost gone)

You know…

I know I complain a lot.

And sometimes it sounds like

I don’t see you trying.

But I see you.

I do.

I love you…

More than my mouth knows how to explain.

I’m not asking because I don’t love you.

I’m asking because I love you deeply.

And I’m sorry if my words ever made you feel

Like you’re not enough…

Or like you’re not trying.

You are trying.

I just…

I just want us to feel closer.

That’s all.
