lyrics

I dread pulling the same shift as you
cause I don't wanna try to act aloof
it's hard cause my heart is telling me to
try and take my chances with you
but i dont wanna hurt myself anymore

what's the point of love
if you cant see beyond just being together
a swandive to a life of
codepency, for the life of me
i dont want that, i dont want that
but i can't look at your skin and say
im not in, the whole attraction
pursuit of satisfaction, in life
partners make everything easier in the begginning
but it gets impossible at the end

that's why i dont wanna even bother and

I dread pulling the same shift as you
cause I don't wanna try to act aloof
it's hard cause my heart is telling me to
try and take my chances with you
but i dont wanna hurt myself anymore

but doesnt stop, from being significantly
nicer to you than the other coworkers
it just feels good, to see you feel good
and i want that, and i want that
but doesnt mean i have to be a fixture in your life
right, i don't need your undying affection
i tell myself, that this is easier
lie to lead, simpler one at least

that's why i dont wanna even bother and

When I am, near you
i wanna, tell you
what im feeling, but i know
its no use, confusion
is all that can come from
you knowing
Im trying to preemptively
move on, and that is why
i've been awkward as hell round you
