Lyric

Downtown diner, almost midnight

Three seats underneath the light

You’re sitting there right next to him

For a second, it’s just us

Forty seconds

You and him on the same side

I’m across, trying to look alright

Then he says he’ll be right back

And suddenly I lose track

You tell me not to worry

But I wasn’t worried yet

Before you finish your sentence

I’m already reading into it

Read receipts, late-night dreams

Every word means more to me

You say love, I hear mine

Even when I know you’re lying

He looks a little like me

Close enough to make it sting

I keep thinking you were never his

Keep pretending this is something

Maybe you were always mine

Maybe I’m the call at night

Maybe every little sign

Means the thing I want inside

You say that you love me

I believe what I need to

I know exactly what you mean

Just not like I want you to

Say it again

Look at me

Let me hear

What I need

Just for tonight

You love me

You said we need to talk

In the group chat

Just the two of us

So I let my hopes come back

I knew he would be there

Still I smiled like I was happy

Same old diner, same old light

You look too good tonight

It’s just you being you

But I want it to be for me

I know you’re his, I know the truth

Still I turn every word into proof

You tell me that you love me

Just not the way I need you to

Say it once more

Before I let it go

You love me
