like you want me to

(album: to love in the 21st century - 2023)

Sorry to ruin
Your afternoon when
You showed up at my house but I just couldn't come out

Yeah I always do this
You know I'm not clueless
I push away the love that I've found

It's not that I don't want this
I don't wanna waste your time
You give me all your heart but I can't give you all of mine

I'm sorry but you know that
I can't call you baby like you want me to
You need much more than I can offer you
I hope you find someone who'll adore you now
In a way I never knew how
Don't wanna string you along
I can't love you like you want

Trust me I've tried to
Imagine me with you
You're everything I ever could've dreamed about

You're practically perfect
And I don't deserve it
I guess I know that deep deep down

That even with a spark it doesn't mean it's gonna light
You give me all your heart but I can't give you all of mine

I'm sorry but you know that
I can't call you baby like you want me to
You need much more than I can offer you
I hope you find someone who'll adore you now
In a way I never knew how
Don't wanna string you along

Don't wanna string you along
I can't love you like you want
