I woke up to a missed call from you
At 3 am
And I hate the way my heart skipped a beat
Even when
I wrote down a list of reasons I
Should let you go
It's not that simple though
And it's not even fun no more
I cling to ideas I had once
To feeling you gave me before
These butterflies became bees
I'm a swell of anxiety
But for reasons beyond reason
I just want you
But you rarely think of me at all
I'm just an afterthought
It's the same old pattern
Again and again
I won't hear from you for a couple weeks
Then all of a sudden
You'll spark my hope up like a match
Just to blow it up
And say you're messed up
Well, so I am now
And it's not even fun no more
I cling to ideas I had once
To feeling you gave me before
These butterflies became bees
I'm a swell of anxiety
But for reasons beyond reason
I just want you
But you rarely think of me at all
I'm just an afterthought
What about that bracelet with your initials on it?
And the trip to Paris you said you're planning?
Well, all my friends think I lost my mind
I can't disagree
So don't prove them right
And it's not even fun no more
I cling to ideas I had once
To feeling you gave me before
These butterflies became bees
I'm a swell of anxiety
But for reasons beyond reason
I just want you
But you rarely think of me at all
I'm just an afterthought
