(Verse 1)
You’d call me when you couldn’t sleep,
Say, “What you doing?” after two.
Talking till the sun came up,
Like there was nothing else to do.
You’d steal my hoodie, wear my chain,
Tell me things nobody knew.
Had me thinking maybe, maybe
You were feeling something too.
But every time I’d get too close,
You’d take a step back, change the vibe.
Leave me trying to read your mind,
While you acted like everything was fine.
(Pre-Chorus)
And looking back now,
I think you knew all along.
(Chorus)
You knew exactly what you were doing,
Every late-night text, every little smile.
Kept me hanging on just enough
To keep me around a while.
You’d pull me close, then push away,
Leave me wondering every night.
Guess you liked knowing I’d stay…
Even when you didn’t want me like that.
(Verse 2)
My friends kept telling me, “Move on,”
Said I was wasting all my time.
But every time I tried to leave,
You’d show up right back in my life.
Act different when nobody’s there,
Go cold when people come around.
Had me feeling like I lost my mind,
Always up, then back back down.
Maybe you liked the attention,
Maybe you liked knowing I’d wait.
Either way, you kept me close enough
To never really walk away.
(Pre-Chorus)
And maybe that’s on me,
For believing it could change.
(Chorus)
You knew exactly what you were doing,
Every late-night text, every little smile.
Kept me hanging on just enough
To keep me around a while.
You’d pull me close, then push away,
Leave me wondering every night.
Guess you liked knowing I’d stay…
Even when you didn’t want me like that.
(Bridge)
I used to think if I stayed long enough,
Maybe one day you’d see me different.
Now I know some people love the feeling
More than they love the person giving it.
And that’s the part that hurts the most,
Not that you never chose me.
It’s knowing you knew how I felt…
And still let me believe.
(Final Chorus)
You knew exactly what you were doing,
Every late-night text, every little smile.
Kept me hanging on just enough
To keep me around a while.
You’d pull me close, then push away,
Leave me wondering every night.
Guess you liked knowing I’d stay…
While I was busy falling for you.
