lyrics
It would be normal if I said I liked your hair
Friends can say those things
Why am I nervous?
I nail my hands down to the floor
Bite out my own tongue
I don't deserve it
I shouldn't wanna tell you how I feel
I know how it would end for me
I wouldn't get you
Like I want to
It would ruin everything
So I retire to my dreams
Where I can be more than a friend
I play pretend
And you lean in but
When you kiss me it hurts so bad
Cause I can never kiss you back
If I only imagined that
You kissed me in the first place
Each day hurts more than the one before
Think I should go now
I'm not sure I can survive here anymore
That's why I packed this suitcase
And I don't wanna run from you
But I don't know what else to do
If you're not who I'm running to
You're who I'm running from
Can't stay in place
Can't stay in love with you
Can't stay in love with you
It would be normal if I fell without a care
Why do I tiptoe, overly cautious?
I close my eyes so they don't stare
You wouldn't want me if I was honest
I shouldn't wanna tell you how I feel
I know how it would end for me
I wouldn't get you
Like I want
God, it would ruin everything
So I retire to my dreams
Where I can be more than your friend
I play pretend
And you lean in but
When you kiss me it hurts so bad
Cause I can never kiss you back
If I only imagined that
You kissed me in the first place
Each day hurts more than the one before
Think I should go now
I'm not sure I can survive here anymore
That's why I packed this suitcase
And I don't wanna run from you
But I don't know what else to do
If you're not who I'm running to
You're who I'm running from
Can't stay in place
Can't stay in love with you
Can't stay in love with you
Can't stay in love with you
Ahh
Ooh
When you kiss me it hurts so bad
Cause I can never kiss you back
If I only imagined that
You kissed me in the first place
Each day hurts more than the one before
Think I should go now
I'm not sure I can survive here anymore
That's why I packed this suitcase
