Halfway Love

Verse 1]

You pull me close, but your eyes look far,

Touch my skin but forget my heart.

I keep waiting for a different sign,

But you only show up when it’s right on time.

Wine glass spilled on the bathroom floor,

We’ve been here, I can’t count before.

It’s a cycle I can’t let go,

You love me halfway, and I still want more.

⸻

Why you only call me in the midnight silence?

Why you only love me when there’s no one watchin’?

I can’t keep living off the crumbs you give,

But damn, I can’t forget the way you live in my skin.

⸻

You swear I’m safe, then you burn me down,

Got me screaming but I make no sound.

Your ghost sleeps heavy in my bed,

But I keep your sweater, can’t lose the thread.

⸻

And I hate how I love the way you break me,

Hate how your absence always shakes me.

Promise after promise, and I still believe,

‘Cause leaving you feels like losing me.

⸻

Why you only call me in the midnight silence?

Why you only love me when there’s no one watchin’?

I can’t keep living off the crumbs you give,

But damn, I can’t forget the way you live in my skin.

⸻

Halfway love, halfway truth,

I’m stuck between the whole of you.

Halfway gone, but halfway stay,

Guess I love you in a broken way.
