Lyrics
[Verse]
You left your ring beside my sink
Said you'd come back for it Sunday
It's Wednesday and I've started wearing it
Just to feel the weight of something
I rehearse the way I'll hand it back
Then I practice saying nothing
[Prechorus]
You keep testing what I'll keep
I keep proving you right
[Chorus]
I don't want to want you
But I do and it's worse than I planned
I don't want to want you
Still I'm saving you the seat by my hand
Say the word and I'll pretend I'm fine
Say it twice and I might mean it
[Verse]
Your brother asked me why I stayed
I told him someone had to water your plants
He laughed like he'd heard that one before
You called at two just to hear me breathe
Didn't say a thing for a minute
Then hung up like that counted as talking
[Prechorus]
You keep leaving me the choice
I keep choosing the wait
[Chorus]
I don't want to want you
But I do and it's worse than I planned
I don't want to want you
Still I'm saving you the seat by my hand
Say the word and I'll pretend I'm fine
Say it twice and I might mean it
[Bridge]
Ask me out loud and I'll answer
Ask me at all and I'm yours
But you never ask you just hover
So I'm learning to close my own doors
[Chorus]
I don't want to want you
But I do and it's worse than I planned
I don't want to want you
Still I'm saving you the seat by my hand
Say the word and I'll pretend I'm fine
Say it twice and I might mean it
Say it once and I'll believe it
