[Verse 1]
You text me at midnight
Leave me on read by two
Whole day you go missing
Then swear you're telling the truth
I know every story
Got another side
But I'm still sitting front row
To a love that you divide
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me why I still stay
Watching my own heartbreak
Hanging on every half-word you say
Do you ever see me
When you say you're "busy"
Or am I just the easy one to play
[Chorus]
Cheater I still choose
Why do I keep running back to you
I break
You bruise
Call it love but it feels like I lose
One-sided holding on
To somebody already gone
Cheater I still choose
Cheater I still choose (oh why)
[Verse 2]
We go out in public
You keep your phone face down
Laughing at a message
I'm the only one who frowns
You kiss me in the hallway
Like I'm your only plan
But I can taste the strangers
On the lips I take again
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me why I still stay
Watching my own heartbreak
Building all my plans on what you say
Do you ever see me
When you say you're "sorry"
Or am I just a place for you to stay
[Chorus]
Cheater I still choose
Why do I keep running back to you
I break
You bruise
Call it love but it feels like I lose
One-sided holding on
To somebody already gone
Cheater I still choose
Cheater I still choose
[Bridge]
Maybe I'm scared of the quiet
Scared of the space in my bed
So I keep you close in my phone
Though you're far from my head
If loving you hurts this much
Why does your touch still thrill
I hate how you make me feel
But I love you still (yeah)
[Chorus]
Cheater I still choose
Why do I keep running back to you
I break
You bruise
Call it love but it feels like I lose
One-sided holding on
To somebody already gone
Cheater I still choose
Cheater I still choose (oh why)
Cheater I still choose
