I'd love to be in love with you enough to write a love song I need to feel needed and I need it more than I let on I'll be home, just thinking about it Maybe call like I used to But I'll just stay alone, because alone is safer than with you I like you inconveniently You're squeezing out my dopamine Yeah, you like me in spite of me I feel these feelings quietly You're cool but inconvenient Now, my energy's depleted Take a seat, babe, if you need it Like I do, 'cause I'm defeated Now, I'm cancelled, I'm whatever I'm the best thing that you'll never have Now I'm lonely, yeah, if only I could text you but I'm holding out I'd love to be in love with you enough to write a love song I need to feel needed and I need it more than I let on I'll be home, just thinking about it Maybe call like I used to But I'll just stay alone, because alone is safer than with you I know I'm not around enough to make me worth the wait It's like, who wants to be close with someone who always goes away? And even when they're here, it's like "Where's your fucking head at?" "Why's it take so long to text back?" "You're so bad at loving people back" So here's a plaque for your wall For the Hall of Fame of fucking off When things get weird Because I can't handle that again It's like that, yeah, it's like that I'd love to be in love with you enough to write a love song I need to feel needed and I need it more than I let on I'll be home, just thinking about it Maybe call like I used to But I'll just stay alone, because alone is safer than with you

فوسط زحمة وناس كتير وطريق أنا ماشي فيه عكس السير وسط الطموح والأمل والتمني فاضلي خطوة توصلني فوسط حاجات ومكيفات بحاول أنسى كل اللي فات في وسط صدري ضلعي مكسور ومن خلاله قلبي شايف نور أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع فوسط الليل وأنا بعيد عن البشر شفت نور يشبه نور القمر بس القمر مسيره يفارق ويسيبني تاني مع الوحدة أحارب فوسط قصة حب يعني وهمية كان لازم أصدق اصل الوحدة قوية مش كل المشاعر حقيقية أنا شفت نور معرفتش اغمض عنيا أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع
