I don't love you, but your name plays in my head like a love song
I don't like you, but your name enchants.
I don't care about you, but I think about you all day
I think about what we were
I think about what we are
I think about what went wrong
I think about what went right
I think about how things could have been different
I think about how some things should stay the same
I keep thinking about us.
I don't love you
I don't like you
I don't care about you
Yet all I think about is you
It frustrates but you never leave
I promise I don't love you
I promise I don't like you
Most of all I promise I don't care.
You mean nothing
More insignificant than dust
More insignificant than an insect
Yet when I'm all alone
Yet when I feel lonely
All I think about is you
All I think about is you
For you entered my life
started a story but never ended it
You never ended it and never will
So, I keep holding on
I keep holding on because I’m starved
I keep holding on because you made me feel something
I keep holding on because I want to love
I want to love and you're the closest I've had to love
Looking back, it was never love
Looking back, you were just another person I used
Looking back, I treated you the unfairest
Looking back curiosity became obsession
Looking back, I rushed
Looking back, I was desperate
I'm no longer desperate and I see that we're better apart
I see that but I still miss us
I still want to keep the old you in my life
I want to hold on to our friendship because I enjoyed us.
I enjoyed us, I loved us
I don't want to lose us
Your name still enchants
Your name still plays
Your ghost still haunts
You still matter
