[verse 1]
Everyone i've ever loved has liked me more than i've liked them
I'm never sure of what i want, and i think it might be happening again
We're in my car, i wanna kiss you, but i feel like i could throw up
I just met you and i'm already imagining our breakup
[chorus]
Maybe in another life, i got a dad who liked me
Maybe in another life, my mom was stable and healthy
But here i am, traumatized, fucking this up, wasting your time
Afraid of what would happen if i stopped avoiding attachment
[verse 2]
I want attention without commitment
I wanna hold you from arm's length
So when you ask me what i wanted
I almost lost it, 'cause how do i say it?
You could give me space
You could be picture perfect, so well paced
And i would still find any reason to break it off, to push you away
[chorus]
Maybe in another life, i got a dad who liked me
Maybe in another life, my mom was stable and healthy
But here i am, traumatized, fucking this up, wasting your time
Afraid of what would happen if i stopped avoiding attachment
[bridge]
You ask me if i feel safe before you try to touch me
If i really let you see me, if i really let you love me
Would you hurt me worse than i could? would the intimacy kill me?
Would i finally find my equal? would you be the one to leave me?
[outro]
Maybe i could stick around when you say that you like me
Maybe i could love someone who's stable and healthy
But here i am, traumatized, fucking this up, wasting your time
Afraid of what would happen if i stopped avoiding attachment
