[Verse 1]
You say you miss me
say you love me hard
Then your bag's at the door
and you're halfway gone
To your grandparents' porch
your second home again
I keep saving my nights
for a maybe, not a plan
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want a text
when you're already there
I don't want your sorry
if you never really care
I’m right here breathing
right here waiting
Say my name like you mean it
stop escaping
[Chorus]
You keep running back
running back again
I feel you slip away
before the day can end
Running back, running back
to them every time
If you love me, baby
show up in my life
[Verse 2]
I know they raised you right
I know they held you down
But I’m tired of your love
only circling around
Dinner gets cold for me
phone stays dark and dead
You leave me in the spaces
that you never said
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want a text
when you're already there
I don't want your sorry
if you never really care
I’m right here breathing
right here waiting
Say my name like you mean it
stop escaping
[Chorus]
You keep running back
running back again
I feel you slip away
before the day can end
Running back, running back
to them every time
If you love me, baby
show up in my life
[Bridge]
I can’t be the pause
between your family calls
I need more than crumbs
I need more than walls
Come hold my hand
don’t just say you will
If I’m on your mind
then come be still
[Final Chorus]
You keep running back
running back again
I feel you slip away
before the day can end
Running back, running back
to them every time
If you love me, baby
show up in my life
You keep running back
running back again
I’m not a maybe, no
I’m not a spare time
Running back, running back
I need you here tonight
If you love me, baby
show up in my life
