less

I feel it again, edge of the bed
Body and head protesting
My stomach’s in knots, I don’t wanna talk
Let’s just go to bed or something
Maybe it’ll fix itself tomorrow
But I’ve been saying that like every night

You say you can’t stand to watch me cry a minute more
So you do the noble thing and open up the door
If loving me means letting go and wishing me the best
Then I guess
I wish, I wish, I wish you loved me less

We tried to recreate our favorite date
But we didn’t laugh much this time
Our trip to Big Sur only confirmed
This isn’t what it should feel like
And maybe I’m a stubborn overthinker
But I’ve been thinking over this a lot

And I could try convincing you they’re just intrusive thoughts
But you’ve seen me truly happy, so you know right now I’m not
If loving me means crying on the curb at LAX
Well, then I guess
I wish, I wish, I wish you loved me less

If loving me means saying, “Babe, I think this is the end”
I guess
I wish, I wish, I wish you loved me less
