[Verse 1]
I know you know the power in your texts
Perfectly timed to 1:00 AM
Suddenly there’s tension in my chest
Feels like I'm running
When I’m standing still
You're controlling every part of me with six words
The crazy part is that I tell myself it don't hurt

But the truth is

[Chorus]
I love you 'cause I don't love me
I love you 'cause I don't love me
I love you 'cause I don't love me
I don't think I deserve better
I can’t feel it when you touch me
We're not fooling anybody
I love you 'cause I don't love me
I don't think I deserve better

But we deserve better
Better

[Verse 2]
You cut me down so we never see eye to eye
It's hard to argue when you're never the same size
You found the lies I built around me
Made up some brand new ones about me
Baby I love the way you’re looking in this good, good, good light
[Chorus]
I love you 'cause I don't love me
I love you 'cause I don't love me
I love you 'cause I don't love me
I don't think I deserve better
This is not even about you
I lost me before I found you
I love you 'cause I don't love me
I don't think I deserve better

But we deserve better

[Bridge]
Sometimes I see a piece
Of what this could be
I'm terrified to let you go
But if you give me half your heart
I'll never have your heart
Two half hearts don't make a whole

[Tag]
I just want someone to love me
Come on, somebody just love me

[Chorus]
I love you 'cause I don't love me
I love you 'cause I don't love me
So I don't love you I don't love me
I don't think I deserve
This is not even about you
I'm alone with or without you
I love you 'cause I don't love me
I don't think I deserve better
But we deserve better
We deserve better
