**Verse 1**
You said you hated parties
But you loved the way they looked
Cigarette smoke on Polaroids
You never read the books
You laughed at all my jokes
Like you were in on something else
Like I was just a rerun
On a dusty shelf
**Pre-Chorus**
You talk like you’re already gone
Like nothing ever sticks
You say love’s just a habit
That you’re trying to quit
**Chorus**
You leave the TV on
Just to hear someone talk
You don’t like the silence
But you hate when they knock
You say I’m not the one
But you call every night
There’s static in your bedroom
And I’m losing the fight
**Verse 2**
You wear your sadness loosely
Like it’s something you chose
Say you’re “fine” in lowercase
So nobody knows
You kiss like it’s a question
You don’t want answered yet
Then pull away smiling
Like you’ll never regret
**Pre-Chorus**
You swear you don’t believe in fate
But you blame it anyway
Every time you feel lonely
You say it’ll just fade
**Chorus**
You leave the TV on
Just to hear someone talk
You don’t like the silence
But you hate when they knock
You say I’m not the one
But you call every night
There’s static in your bedroom
And I’m losing the fight
**Bridge**
Maybe I’m romanticizing
All the ways you let me down
Maybe you just like the feeling
Of someone sticking around
You say I’m “too emotional”
Like that’s some kind of crime
But you only feel real
When you’re wasting my time
**Outro / Soft Chorus**
So leave the TV on
Let it say what you won’t
I’ll be gone by the morning
Or maybe I won’t
There’s static in your bedroom
And it sounds just like me
Trying to say I love you
