Loving You Was A Full Time Job

Verse 1

Met you on a Tuesday night

You laughed at my terrible joke

Something in my chest went bright

So I kept you close and I never spoke

About the way you checked your phone

Or the names you never said

Pre-Chorus

I told myself it's fine

Told myself I'm fine

Every quiet dinner felt like a test

I passed and passed and passed

Chorus

Loving you was a full time job

And I never got a raise

Loving you was a full time job

I worked the night shift anyway

Loving you was a full time job

Verse 2

You said jealousy was a flaw

Then went through my drawer

Called me dramatic when I saw

The way you smiled at her door

I learned to shrink to fit the room

Learned to laugh on cue

Pre-Chorus

I told myself it's fine

Told myself I'm fine

Every unanswered call was a quiz

I failed and failed and failed

Chorus

Loving you was a full time job

And I never got a raise

Loving you was a full time job

I worked the night shift anyway

Loving you was a full time job

Bridge

Packed one bag and left the state

Called my mother from the road

She said baby that's a heavy weight

You were never meant to hold

You were never meant to hold

Chorus

Loving you was a full time job

And I finally quit the place

Loving you was a full time job

Took my name back from your space

Loving you was a full time job

Loving you was a full time job
