Every Time

I do this every time

I said I'd never put myself through this again

But I open my eyes and that's when I find

My phone in my fingers, confined, intertwined

Like holding it tighter will make you reply

But it won't

No it won't

I do this every time

Smile, laugh it off

Say you're not on my mind, but I just can't get you off

And when you tell me you're busy I'm like what do you want

Because I want you

I do this every time

Cry, let it die

Say it wasn't meant to be or that it just wasn't right

And when it's finally done, I still ain't sleeping at night

Because I want you

I do this every time

Burning like cigarettes

Like a sickness so slow you forget it's a threat

Whispers from the passenger seat

Little things I believed

Guess I should be relieved that it's done

Yeah, it's done

I do this every time

Smile, laugh it off

Say you're not on my mind, but I just can't get you off

And when you tell me you're busy I'm like what do you want

Because I want you

I do this every time

Cry, let it die

Say it wasn't meant to be or that it just wasn't right

And when it's finally done, I still ain't sleeping at night

Because I want you

I should've seen the signs

Flying past at ninety-nine

Saying I'm yours, guess that was just being nice

I thought that I knew better than to think that I knew you

But you had me hypnotized and I had to see it through

I do this every time

And all that I wanna know is what it is that you want

Because I want you

I do this every time

Cry, let it die

Say it wasn't meant to be or that it just wasn't right

And when it's finally done, I still ain't sleeping at night

Because I want you

I do this every time

I do this every time

Oh, oh

I do this every time

I do, I do, I do

I do this every time
