about

The moment where you realize you're happier without the other person, whether that's a friend, partner, family member, etc. :')

lyrics

Chorus:
Loving the light, every time you leave the room
Harder to fight, when your leaves full bloom
Now I’m in flight, it’s safe to assume
I’m in love
In name only

Verse:
Leave it or love it
Hide the truth we undercover
Reaching to get a handle like a hand up in a cupboard
Huddled up inconspicuous, monogamist promiscuous
The problem is it’s written in the heart of another
Don’t you know thunder only happen it rains
Wash away the dirt that’s been thrown up on my name
Sitting all alone on my throne when I reign
Pull the pin then I throw let it go with a bang
It’s how I cope with pain, don’t wanna need it
Though our goals are the same, don’t wanna see it
I’m self-destructive, femme fatale’s are so seductive
Half-baked, I find myself reaching for the cake
Wait, I’m tryna get my head on straight
Ay I’m tryna listen to my pillow case
Staying in my room is how I feel most days
But I ain’t one to be saved

Chorus:
Loving the light, every time you leave the room
Harder to fight, when your leaves full bloom
Now I’m in flight, it’s safe to assume
I’m in love
In name only

Verse:
(I been)
Wanting to let you go still
(Climbing)
mountains made outta mole hills
As it is, it seems that I don’t ever rest
Even if I reach the top, I’m only reaching second best
I second guess everything I ever say to you
You would only be down if you were catered to
Get off my chest, I’m complaining that it’s draining
What does love cost, cuz it seems I always pay for you
Damn, don’t it cut deep
I ain’t one to fold, I ain’t one to crease
I thought you’d be my home, I thought I paid the lease
Now I’m tryna ghost, that’s why I’m underneath sheets
But now I’m on every time you leave me lonely
Don’t feel nothing when you hold me
Now I’m acting all dismissive
I ain’t even gonna listen
done bickering like children when I’m with you

Chorus:
Loving the light, every time you leave the room
Harder to fight, when your leaves full bloom
Now I’m in flight, it’s safe to assume
I’m in love
In name only
