[Verse 1]
I tell you I love you, yeah
Then I go and freeze up
Same old line in my chest
Same old fear I can’t speak up
You say you miss me, I smile
Like that should be enough
But I keep swallowing truth
Acting like I don’t need much
I know I always need you
When you are away
The room gets too quiet
And my words drift away
I make promises to myself
I break ’em by noon
Say I’m gon’ treat it better
Then I lose my cool
[Pre-Chorus]
And I tell myself, “Change”
Like it’s easy to do
But I’m still stuck on the same
When it comes to you
If I reach for your hand
Would you reach back too?
I keep fighting my heart
It keeps running to you
[Chorus]
I never feel the same
When you pull away
Never feel the same
When you go away
You say you miss me, babe
I’m saying it too
I always need you
I always need you
I never feel the same
When you pull away
Never feel the same
When you go away
I won’t complain, no
I’ll bite my tongue
I always need you
I always need you
[Verse 2]
I keep telling myself
“Be the one who stays calm”
Don’t act so deep in the text
Don’t let it come out wrong
But every time you’re gone
I start replaying scenes
What I should’ve said better
What I should’ve been
I want to be easier
Less of a storm
Less of the weight on your chest
When you walk through the door
Still, you got my whole heart
In the palm of your hand
And I hate that I fold
Every time you land
[Bridge]
If I’m honest, I’m scared
You’ll get tired of me
Of the same little cracks
That you keep seeing
So I’m talking to myself
In the mirror at night
“Change for real”
“Change for real”
“Make it right”
[Chorus]
I never feel the same
When you pull away
Never feel the same
When you go away
You say you miss me, babe
I’m saying it too
I always need you
I always need you
I never feel the same
When you pull away
Never feel the same
When you go away
I won’t complain, no
I’ll bite my tongue
I always need you
I always need you
