[Verse]

Maybe I should've savored the sadness

'Cause it seems like it's never coming back

You've reduced all my old tears into laughing

You've made me see that there is nothing that I lack

And I don't care if it makes my heart less angsty

If I'm always talking about the love that I am in

I'm beyond grateful that the loneliness let go of me

And I'll sing about it 'til you're the only one's who's listening

If they had a penny

For every time I said your name

Something rеal bad would happen to the economy

And wе'd live in infamy to summon others fame

Every time anyone's ever touched me

It's felt like they were taking parts away

Claiming my body, claiming territory

An act of conquering, a way to write their name

But you spelling out the letters of our future

When you're chasing my shoulders and my face

I never knew that I was capable of feeling like this

That someone else was able to feel the same way
