about

This song is about catastrophising. Building walls. Trying not to get hurt. Confusing isolation with independence. Lying to yourself. And realising some feelings just have to be felt.

lyrics

I was gonna come over to your house today
Pick up where we left off
Our last conversation
I’ve been resisting the temptation
Instead I lay here with my back against the mattress
Developing a fixation with my ceiling
It helps me avoid how I’m feeling

I know that it’s hard to be
Patient with all that I’m
Putting you through
I don’t want to like you but I do
It’s too late
To not end in heartbreak
Risk all that we knew
I don’t want to like you but I do

Your friends are probably wondering
What I’m doing to your head
Mine keep asking me why I’m not in my bed
I tell them I was working late
And I got up earlier than them
I know they disapprove
But I’m still getting used
To the idea of spending more than just the night
Letting somebody like you near
I’m trying, I’m trying
I’m trying to disregard my fears

I know that it’s hard to be
Patient with all that I’m
Putting you through
I don’t want to like you but I do
It’s too late
To not end in heartbreak
Risk all that we knew
I don’t want to like you but

The walls reflecting misguided intentions
I get less content with
Building this hypocrisy
My independent captivity

I know that it’s hard to be
Patient with all that I’m
Putting you through
I don’t want to like you but I do
It’s too late
To not end in heartbreak
Risk all that we knew
I don’t want to like you but I do

And I can’t stop thinking about you
I don’t want to like you but I do
And I can’t stop thinking about you
I don’t want to like you but I do
