[Verse 1]
If you hated me
It'd be easier
I'd stop thinking I could make it work
I know what's coming's really gonna hurt
Or if I hated you
I would've never tried
Molding myself into a shape you'd like
Only for you to say that I look fine

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a habit you've conditioned
Wonder if you know you're bad
Only giving me enough
To keep me on an open tab
Wanna tell you that I miss you
That I'll meet you where you're at
You wouldn't say it back 'cause
You don't want me like that

[Chorus]
You don't want me like that
You don't want a picture of me sitting on your nightstand
You don't wanna touch me in the way we both know you can
You just like the way I feel stuck in the palm of your hand
You don't want me like that
(You don't want me like that)
[Verse 2]
You want the leading role and the accessory to go with it
So until you find a better fit
I'm standing in just for the hell of it

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a habit you've conditioned that I know I've got it bad
Only giving me enough to keep me on an open tab
If I told you that I missed you, maybe you would say it back
Mean it 'til the moment passes
You don't want me like that

[Chorus]
You don't want me like that
You don't want a picture of me sitting on your nightstand
You don't wanna touch me in the way we both know you can
You just like the way I feel stuck in the palm of your hand
You don't want me like that
You don't want me like that
You don't want a picture of me sitting on your nightstand
You don't wanna touch me in the way we both know you can
You just like the way I feel stuck in the palm of your hand
You don't want me like that

[Bridge]
I can't keep waiting for you
Either way, I lose
Say I'm okay, it's not true
Can't keep waiting
You don't want me like that
[Chorus]
You don't want me like that
You don't want a picture of me sitting on your nightstand
You don't wanna touch me in the way we both know you can
You just like the way I feel stuck in the palm of your hand
You don't want me like that
You don't want me like that
You don't want a picture of me sitting on your nightstand
You don't wanna touch me in the way we both know you can
You just like the way I feel stuck in the palm of your hand
You don't want me like that
