Lyrics

[Verse 1]

i didn't think you'd understand me

how could you ever even try?

i don't wanna tiptoe, but i don't wanna hide

but i don't wanna feed this monstrous fire

just wanna let this story die

and i'll be alright

[Chorus]

we can't be friends

but i'd like to just pretend

you cling to your papers and pens

wait until you like me again

wait for your love

my love, i'll wait for your love

[Verse 2]

me and my truth, we sit in silence

mmm, baby girl, it's just me and you

'cause i don't wanna argue, but i don't wanna bite

my tongue, yeah, i think i'd rather die

you got me misunderstood

but at least i look this good

[Chorus]

we can't be friends

but i'd like to just pretend

you cling to your papers and pens

wait until you like me again

wait for your love

my love, i'll wait for your love

i'll wait for your love

my love, i'll wait for your love

[Bridge]

know that you made me

i don't like how you paint me, yet i'm still here hanging

not what you made me

it's something like a daydream

but i feel so seen in the night

so for now, it's only me

and maybe that's all i need

[Chorus]

we can't be friends

but i'd like to just pretend

you cling to your papers and pens

wait until you like me again

wait for your love

my love, i'll wait for your love

i'll wait for your love

my love, i'll wait for your love

[Outro]

i'll wait for your love

i'll wait for your love

i'll wait for your love

i'll wait for your love

i'll wait for your love
