love notes {verse 1} All that I want is to see you look at me With a little bit of clarity Is that too much to demand All that I want is a normal afternoon Sitting quiet in an empty room Holding onto your hand But you leave me to my own devices With a heart that’s starting to bleed I’m a postcard lost in transit And you’re everything I need {pre-chorus} So I’m quiet, you’re distracted Pretend I haven’t reacted And they say it’s a virtue To let someone repeatedly hurt you So I’m smiling, I’m forgiving I’ll take whatever you’re giving But the sweet things taste so sour When I had to ask for them for an hour {chorus} Yeah it ruins the phrase When it took me three whole days Of pulling at your coat sleeve Just to make you stay Now I’m reading the lines Of these little love notes of mine But they don’t mean a thing When I had to ask you to write them down Yeah I had to ask you to write them down {verse 2} And I have this thought when the sun starts to rise That I’m staring at a compromise Is this how it’s supposed to feel To try and force a spark from a stone To feel so incredibly alone Beside something that’s real I cling to your warmth like a shadow But the light is starting to fade I’m a coin at the bottom of a river Wishing for a promise you made {pre-chorus} So I’m quiet, you’re distracted Pretend I haven’t reacted And they say it’s a virtue To let someone repeatedly hurt you So I’m smiling, I’m forgiving I’ll take whatever you’re giving But the sweet things taste so sour When I had to ask for them for an hour {chorus} Yeah it ruins the phrase When it took me three whole days Of pulling at your coat sleeve Just to make you stay Now I’m reading the lines Of these little love notes of mine But they don’t mean a thing When I had to ask you to write them down Yeah I had to ask you to write them down {bridge} Every text that you send feels like a chore Like you’re keeping one foot out the door I shouldn’t have to prompt your affection I shouldn’t have to beg for a connection It’s a text on a screen, it’s a glance in the hall It shouldn’t feel like scaling a wall I keep keeping track of the times you care But it’s hard when you’re never really there Yeah it’s hard when you’re never really there {outro} Now I’m folding the paper in two Rereading the words I forced out of you They don’t mean a thing When I had to ask you to write them down Yeah I had to ask you to write them down
Hey guys! This is track 5, called love notes, on my EP love notes!
