Suspicious Hearts
by Nathan Weiss
Lyrics
Verse 1
You check my phone before you kiss me
You count my lies before I speak
You turn your back when I say "trust me"
Then stay the night another week
We argue slow in the blue light
Your shadow sharp across the wall
You say my name like it's a sentence
Then curl up, still answer my call
Chorus
We’re suspicious hearts
Locked up in the same confine
I’m tryna love you in the dark
You tryna read between every line
We’re suspicious hearts
Building houses out of doubt and pride
Caught in this trap, I can’t cut ties
‘Cause I love you too much to say goodbye
Verse 2
You smell perfume that isn’t there
I see ghosts in every text
Your friends all talk like they were there
Outside our bed, inside our mess
Your lipstick stained on my white tee
My fingerprints on your glass
We swear we’re done, then by next week
We right back rolling through the past
Chorus
We’re suspicious hearts
Locked up in the same confine
I’m tryna love you in the dark
You tryna read between every line
We’re suspicious hearts
Building houses out of doubt and pride
Caught in this trap, I can’t cut ties
‘Cause I love you too much to say goodbye
Bridge
Why we turn every touch to an alibi
Every promise to a cross-exam (yeah)
Why you searching my eyes like a witness stand
When I’m right here holding out my hands
If we don’t trust, what we holding on?
If we both bleed, who gon’ make us strong?
But every time you say you’re through
I’m already halfway back to you (back to you, yeah)
Chorus
We’re suspicious hearts
Locked up in the same confine
I’m tryna love you in the dark
You tryna read between every line
We’re suspicious hearts
Building houses out of doubt and pride
Caught in this trap, I can’t cut ties
‘Cause I love you too much to say goodbye
