[Verse 1]
You still bite your pen
When you’re thinking hard
You tuck your hair back
With that chipped black bar
And you laugh too fast
At your own small jokes
I notice every thing
You never chose to show
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept it in my chest
Like a letter with no stamp
Wore your old blue sweater
Just to feel your hand
Now it’s all too clear
When you look right through
I’m the one who stayed
You never came to
[Chorus]
I love you
I love you
And it’s just for me
I love you
I love you
You don’t feel the same
You don’t feel the same
[Verse 2]
The scar on your thumb
From that kitchen knife
The way you hum low
When you read at night
Your chipped front tooth
And your kind-of-rough grace
I fell for the details
You leave in each place
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept it in my chest
Like a secret in my mouth
Every little reason
Kept pulling me down
Now I see your face
And I hear my own truth
I said it out loud
But I lost to you
[Chorus]
I love you
I love you
And it’s just for me
I love you
I love you
You don’t feel the same
You don’t feel the same
[Bridge]
If I go quiet
Don’t call it a crime
I gave you my first try
My first real line
I thought you might turn
And meet me halfway
But your heart stayed closed
And mine said what it said
[Chorus]
I love you
I love you
And it’s just for me
I love you
I love you
You don’t feel the same
You don’t feel the same
(I love you)
