[Chorus 1]
I know
I should
Pick up when my own mother calls
It’s hard to know that she’s watching

I have
No choice
I know my heart’s where it belongs
I’m not in love but I’m falling

[Verse 1]
I could use some better friends
Better yet, a better lover
Every time I text, she answers them
Someone with feelings who can handle them
Someone who’d never cheat on someone
Just to get her to abandon them

& i haven’t felt the same since
I wrote “Make You Proud” & my father died
Shortly after we played it
Posted ‘bout it for engagements
Felt guilty ‘bout it but I shrugged it off
& said, “that’s entertainment”
[Chorus 2]
I know
I should
Pick up when my own mother calls
It’s hard to know that she’s watching

(“Honey, get off social media right now. Take a breath. Do something different. Are you stable enough to drive? Do you want to come over for dinner? Well you’ve always got an invitation.”)

I have
No choice
I know my heart’s where it belongs
I’m not in love but I’m falling

(“Love you so much.”)
