headache

Verse

You text me when the night won’t end

When silence feels too loud again

You tell me things you never say

To anyone in light of day

We stay up way past 2 AM

You say you’re glad I understand

And I pretend it’s just enough

To be the one you think of

Verse

But in the halls, we pass like ghosts

Like we don’t even know us close

You say her name, I bite my tongue

Like it was never me you want

And I know her, she’s not like you

She wouldn’t stay up like I do

She wouldn’t hear you when you break

Or read your voice inside your ache

Pre-chorus

I’m every word you’re scared to say

But not the one you’d ever choose to stay

Chorus

I’m the one you text when you’ve got a headache

When your whole world’s bending out of shape

I’m the voice that keeps you wide awake

But not the one you wanna take

I’m the one who knows you every second

Every scar and every silent question

I can fix the pain you never mention

But I’m not your intention

Verse

You say you’re over her, it’s fine

But you still say her name sometimes

And I can hear it in your tone

You’re not as over as you’ve shown

And maybe I’m just in between

Your almost love, your “what could be”

A place you go when nights get hard

But never where you leave your heart

Bridge

She doesn’t see you like I do

She wouldn’t hold your breaking truth

But maybe that’s the part that hurts

You’d still pick her if it worked

Chorus

I’m the one you text when you’ve got a headache

When your whole world’s barely holding shape

I’m the one who’s always gonna stay

Even when you look away

Outro

Maybe one night you’ll finally see

What you’ve been finding here in me

But I won’t say it, I won’t make it break

I’ll just be there for your headache
