Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’m waiting for silence
While watching your call
I’m trying to not pick up the phone
‘Cause you’d say I’m a liar
And you wouldn’t be wrong
But forgive me for tryna play along

[Pre-chorus]
‘Cause we break down together
We make out together
We fake out our problems
And make ones that never escape our endeavours
Know you could do better than me

[Chorus]
But you don’t want nothing to do with someone who makes you smile
And you don’t want nothing to say to someone who hears your cries
No, you don’t try making amends with someone who makes you feel alive
‘Cause they’re someone who always reminds you what you’re not

[Verse 2]
We’re a perfect distraction
From what’s in our heads
Reminders of paths we didn’t tread
‘Cause anything is better than admitting that we’re better alone
When you’d rather be dead
Than be living on your own

[Chorus]
But you don’t want nothing to do with someone who makes you smile
And you don’t want nothing to say to someone who hears your cries
No, you don’t try making amends with someone who makes you feel alive
‘Cause they’re someone who always reminds you

[Bridge]
‘Cause we break down together
We make out together
We fake out our problems
And make ones that never escape our endeavours
I know you’ll do better than me
But for now, we’ll take what we get
And we’ll work through regret
And we’ll plan for a future we prolly won’t get
We fake love for now
But I know you’ll do better than me

[Chorus]
‘Cause you won’t want nothing to do with someone who makes you cry
And you won’t have something to say with someone who needs more time
No, you’ll go start making amends with someone who makes you feel alive

[Outro]
‘Cause they’re someone who’s gonna remind you what you’re not
What you’re not
‘Cause anything is better than admitting that we’re better alone
But there’s someone who’s gonna remind you what I’m not
