Songs I Write | VI

Steaks

I got so used to "stay"
It's unbelievably changed to "walk away"
And I've never held faith
In my tone, in my voice, when I try to say

I don't want you to go
But I need you to be gone
I don't wanna be alone
I was counting on you to be home
I don't want you to go
But I need you to be gone
I don't wanna not know
But knowing you has hurt me too much to pretend it don't
I don't want you to go

I got so used to "stay"
I used to romanticise the phrases
I used to scream it
Now all I do is watch and wait

I don't want you to go
But I need you to be gone
I don't wanna be alone
I was counting on you to be home
I don't want you to go
But I need you to be gone
I don't wanna not know
But knowing you has hurt me too much to pretend it don't
I don't want you to go

'Cause I got so used to your face
On my phone
Every time I would walk to my place
And whisper "are you on your own?"
I got so used to us
It breaks my heart, it really does
I think about you a lot
What you're doing, who you're talking to, where you're going when there's nobody else for you

I don't want you to go
But I need you to be gone
I don't wanna be alone
I was counting on you to be home
I don't want you to go
But I need you to be gone
I don't wanna not know
But knowing you has hurt me too much to pretend it don't

I don't want you to go
I don't want you to go
I don't want you to go
I don't want you to go

But I need you to be gone
I was counting on you
And now you need to go
I need you to
