Lyrics

Your name lights up
At half past two
I already know
What you need me to do
You only call me when the room gets too quiet to breathe
When everybody you chose before me finally decides to leave
You tell me I'm the only one who understands your mind
Then disappear the moment that your world is back in line
I've talked you through a hundred nights
You swore would be the end
But when the morning comes, I'm just a stranger once again
I pull you out, you pull away
And every time, I let you stay
You only want me when it hurts
When no one else can make it work
You call my name when your world breaks
Then leave me there when the hurting fades
I was your answer, never your choice
You only love me when you need my voice
You said that things are different and you finally understood
That you had taken every honest part of me you could
For seven days you treated me like I was what you chose
Then someone new arrived and suddenly your feelings froze
I kept believing every time you promised you would change
But love should never make somebody feel this easy to replace
I pull you out, you pull away
But this time I won't let you stay
You only want me when it hurts
When no one else can make it work
You call my name when your world breaks
Then leave me there when the hurting fades
I was your answer, never your choice
You only love me when you need my voice
I know the sound of your breaking point
I know the fear behind your voice
I know exactly what to say
To keep your darkest thoughts away
But I can't keep destroying me
To become everything you need
You had my number, you had my trust
You never had the right to only call it love
When everything was falling apart
Falling apart
You only want me
You only want me when it hurts
When no one else can make it work
You call my name when your world breaks
Then leave me there when the hurting fades
I was your answer, never your choice
You only love me when you need my voice
The next time your name lights up my phone
You can learn how it feels to be alone
