Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You hit me with a "sorry Rain check" I answer "yeah It's fine Someday" My calendar’s a graveyard Of the plans you threw away I keep my weekends open Like a door you never use I’m standing in the hallway Wearing down my shoes [Pre-Chorus] I said "I got you" You said "I'll call" I watched another promise Slip right off the wall [Chorus] I’m tired of living on your back burner Always last in line Slow learner You leave me on read Then you pull me closer Just enough heat so it’s never over You lie I bend You ghost I yearn I still reach out and I still get burned I’ve had enough of being your back burner But I still want you [Verse 2] You cancel on the driveway I’m already by the door You say your world is falling I say "I can hold more" You swear that you’ll be honest Then you change another truth I swallow all the questions So I don’t bother you [Pre-Chorus] I say "it’s okay" You say "you’re sweet" I taste the bitter after Every time we speak [Chorus] I’m tired of living on your back burner Always last in line Slow learner You leave me on read Then you pull me closer Just enough heat so it’s never over You lie I bend You ghost I yearn I still reach out and I still get burned I’ve had enough of being your back burner But I still want you (yeah) [Bridge] How do I want What keeps me small? Why do I stay Through every close call? If loving you means I keep losing me Am I holding on Or just afraid to leave? [Chorus] I’m tired of living on your back burner Always last in line Slow learner You leave me on read Then you pull me closer Just enough heat so it’s never over You lie I bend You ghost I yearn I still reach out and I still get burned I’ve had enough of being your back burner But I still want you I still want you

Moody guitar-driven pop with male vocals; intimate verse over picked electric, kick and snaps. Pre-chorus builds with toms, airy pads, and rising bass. Chorus hits wider with layered harmonies, open chords, and a tight groove, then drops to near a cappella for the final hook repeat.
