Halfway Love

You’re halfway back when you’re lonely

Halfway gone when I look at you

I can’t do halfway love

You’re halfway back when you’re lonely

Halfway gone when I need it most

I can’t do halfway, no

You call like you never left

Like my heart didn’t learn the shape of that

You say “I miss you” under your breath

Then you disappear when it gets too real

Do you ever hear yourself

Making promises you won’t remember

I keep letting it slide at night

Then I hate myself come September

You’re halfway back when you’re lonely

Halfway gone when I look at you

I can’t do halfway love

You’re halfway back when you’re lonely

Halfway gone when I need it most

I can’t do halfway, no

You hold me like a habit

Like I’m something you can pick back up

But you flinch when I ask for honest

Like the truth is too heavy to touch

Do you ever want me whole

Or just close enough to calm you down

’Cause I’m tired of being “almost”

I’m tired of waiting around

You’re halfway back when you’re lonely

Halfway gone when I look at you

I can’t do halfway love

You’re halfway back when you’re lonely

Halfway gone when I need it most

I can’t do halfway, no

I won’t chase what won’t choose me

I won’t stay in the in-between

If you want me, come and mean it

If you don’t—let me breathe

You’re halfway back when you’re lonely

Halfway gone when I look at you

I can’t do halfway love

You’re halfway back when you’re lonely

Halfway gone when I need it most

I can’t do halfway, no

Come all in, don’t come in pieces

Don’t hold me just to let me go

If you want me, come and mean it

I can’t do ’t do halfway way love

Don’t call me when it’s empty.

Call me when it’s real.

Call me when it’s real.
