Love Me When You Want ( Shayne)

Lyrics

(Chorus 1)

You only love me when you want me close (want me close)
when your world burn down and you need somewhere to go (somewhere to go)
But when I’m hurt you act like you don’t know (don’t know me)
left me drownin’ in emotions all alone
Slow rain fallin’ while I stare at the ceiling (rain fall)
tryna numb this empty hollow feelin’
I gave you every piece of my heart (all of it)
but you only loved me when it wasn’t hard

(Verse 1)

Shayne, slow heartbreak tempo (slowly)
cold room, cigarette smoke out the window
Your perfume still trapped inside my sheets (damn)
and your voice still echo when I barely sleep
You used to hold me when your life fell apart (fell apart)
tell me I’m the only one who understood your heart
But soon as your skies turned blue again
I became invisible to you again
That kinda pain hit different when you broken already (already)
when abandonment issues sittin’ heavy
Every late reply had my chest cave in (why?)
cause damaged people notice every lil’ shift
I kept tellin’ myself “nah she just stressed”
whole time feelin’ unwanted and less
And I hate that I accepted crumbs as love (crumbs)
just because I ain’t think I deserved enough

(Chorus 2)

You only call me when the nights get dark (late nights)
when loneliness start tearin’ at your heart
But where was you when my soul got cold? (where?)
when depression had me losin’ control
I can’t keep beggin’ for consistency (nah)
can’t keep givin’ love that ain’t returned to me
Cause if your love only come and go (come and go)
then baby that ain’t love I know

(Verse 2)

I remember sittin’ in the car outside (all night)
readin’ old texts while the tears filled my eyes
You said forever, then switched up fast (switch up)
guess forever ain’t built to last
And maybe I held on too long myself (too long)
tryna save us while losin’ mental health
Cause every time you pulled away cold (cold world)
that little broken kid in me lost hope
I started blamin’ myself for your distance (my fault)
wonderin’ what I lacked that made the difference
Was I too damaged? Too emotional? Too deep? (too deep)
why the hell was real love so hard to keep?
But truth is, some people only love temporarily (facts)
only love you when it benefit them mentally
And I was just your comfort in the storm (damn)
not somebody you planned to hold long-term

(Chorus 3)

You only miss me when you feel alone (feel alone)
when the silence too loud inside your home
But I need someone that gon’ really stay (really stay)
not disappear every time life change
I got wounds still bleedin’ from the past (deep cuts)
and your half-love made ‘em reopen fast
Now I’m tired of cryin’ in the dark (so tired)
for somebody who keep tearin’ me apart

(Verse 3)

Now the house feel colder without you here (cold)
even silence got a sound this year
I still catch myself reachin’ for my phone (damn)
before rememberin’ I’m on my own
And that truth hit slow like winter rain (slow pain)
somebody can love you and still cause pain
Cause you loved me based on how you felt (how you felt)
never cared how it damaged somebody else
You came around when your world got heavy (heavy)
left when my emotions got too messy
And maybe I ignored every red flag before (I did)
cause I was scared to lose one more
But I’m finally seein’ what real love mean (real love)
consistency, honesty, loyalty
Not confusion, anxiety and tears (nah)
not wonderin’ if you disappear

(Chorus 4)

You only loved me when you wanted me near (wanted me near)
when your own reflection filled with fear
But now I’m slowly learnin’ how to heal (heal slow)
learnin’ broken hearts can still be real
And even if my chest still ache tonight (still hurts)
I know someday I’ll be alright
Cause I deserve somebody who won’t run (won’t run)
somebody who gon’ love me when it’s hard, not just fun

(Verse 4)

Rain still drippin’ off the rooftop slow (drip drop)
same way all this hurt drip through my soul
But I ain’t chasin’ temporary love no more (no more)
can’t keep bleedin’ on this kitchen floor
I spent too many years feelin’ not enough (facts)
acceptin’ bare minimum called “love”
Just because I’m damaged don’t mean I’m weak (nah)
don’t mean I deserve inconsistency
I still got hope buried under this pain (still hope)
still got life flowin’ through these veins
And maybe one day somebody gon’ hold me tight (hold me)
through every dark thought and sleepless night
Till then I’m learnin’ how to love myself (myself)
puttin’ broken pieces back on the shelf
Cause even shattered hearts still beat strong (still beat)
and one day I know I’ll find where I belong (yeah)
