[Verse 1]
You call at midnight
Saying
"I can't sleep"
I’m at your front door
In my ripped blue jeans
We laugh like children
Falling off the couch
But under small talk
There’s a louder sound
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause every time she texts
You flinch
You pull away
Then pull me in
You say we’re "just us" in this room
But I still smell her perfume
[Chorus]
You’re my forbidden fruit
I still take a bite (oh-oh)
Feels like a tug of war every single night
Jealous of a girl who doesn’t know I’m here
Still wake up in your bed and I disappear
We’re more than friends but I’m cast as the villain
Every little touch leaves another small bruise
You say it’s harmless
Say we’re just chillin’
But you know and I know we both crossed that line with you
[Verse 2]
You trace my shoulder
Say
"You know I care"
Then hide your photos
So she won’t see my hair
You call me "trouble"
Laugh it off
Pretend
But if this is nothing
Why can’t you hit send?
[Pre-Chorus]
You say you’re torn
You need some time
But keep your hands tangled in mine
You swear you never meant to choose
So why am I the one who bruised?
[Chorus]
You’re my forbidden fruit
I still take a bite (yeah)
Feels like a tug of war every single night
Jealous of a girl who doesn’t know I’m here
Still wake up in your bed and I disappear
We’re more than friends but I’m cast as the villain
Every little touch leaves another small bruise
You say it’s harmless
Say we’re just chillin’
But you know and I know we both crossed that line with you
[Bridge]
If I walk away
Will you chase? (will you chase?)
Or just replace my name and my face?
I’m tired of loving in the shade
I want the light
I want my name
[Chorus]
You’re my forbidden fruit
I still take a bite (oh-oh)
Feels like a tug of war every single night
Jealous of a life where I can call you mine
Still wake up in your bed
Lying to my mind
We’re more than friends but I’m cast as the villain
Every little touch leaves another small bruise
You say it’s harmless
Say we’re just chillin’
But you know and I know I keep crossing that line for you
