We talk about our days
You ask me where I’ve been
You laugh and say you’d worry
If I stayed out past ten again
You tease me for the things I say
And how I change my mind
I smile, I let it slide
And push the doubt aside

I tell myself you’re steady
That calm is what I need
Ignore the way I shrink a bit
Each time you take the lead

Maybe this is how love’s meant to feel
Easy hands and something real
Maybe I was wrong before
Maybe simple’s what I’m fighting for

You don’t like that I’m still friends with him
The subject makes you scoff
Just mentioning Dorian’s name
Is enough to set you off
You slam the door then pull me close
Say you’re sorry, you just care
But I can see the pattern now
And I don’t think you’re aware

You said you wanted honesty
Then threw my words around
You loved me when I smiled for you
Not when I stood my ground

Maybe this is how love’s meant to feel
Empty rooms and quiet fights
Maybe this is how I know
It never was quite right
