am I texting you too much?
or are you just not around as much?
We’ve been talking less and less it’s messing me up
Infatuation's like a drug
an upper that I can’t give up
but then suddenly I don’t see you enough
You don’t owe me anything
but I’m still bummed out when you don’t text me
You don’t owe me anything
And maybe i’m starting to think that
Just cuz you invite me to parties doesn't mean you wanna hang with me
Just one-on-one it seems to be
Not so fun that you're free
And just cuz you've been giving me heartache
Doesn't mean I matter much to you
Even if I want you to
But I don't think you do
Trying to divest from this crush
so I don’t feel so crush crush crushed
After lowered expectations this is enough
taking this arm's length with a grin
before disappointment does me in
Try to be grateful for any spot of recognition
just cause you invite me to parties
doesn’t mean you’re interested in me
like I thought or hoped you’d be
want what I’m wanting
just cause you’re giving me heartache
doesn’t mean I mean too much to you
but even then I wish it’s true
but even then I tell you
just cause I invite you to my place
doesn’t mean I want more than your time
but you’re so busy that perhaps
That’s too much to ask
Seems like we’ve got lots in common
I wanted to talk more if you were free
That’s all I was wondering
But if not I’ve gotta be
Fine with that and cool with that and understand we won't be that
Take it slow I'm here to show if needs be I can let you go
And I don’t wanna push you more
I’ll tend to my heart, it’s sore
But you don’t have to know that so I’ll keep it to this song I sing for you
