Drunk Text Romance

[Chorus: Hunter Leigh Allen]
I know you loved me
Did you like me ever?
Aren't I clever?
Deciphering your drunk texts
I'm detective
You, the suspect

[Verse 1: Dear Me]
You told me I'd never be good enough
The day will come where I'll forget your face
I'll forget the words to the songs that we used to play
It feels like my head's been held underwater
And I'm just screaming for some sort of self-worth
Waiting for my lungs to collapse

[Chorus: Hunter Leigh Allen]
I know you loved me
Did you like me ever?
Aren't I clever?
Deciphering your drunk texts
I'm detective
You, the suspect

[Post-Chorus: Hunter Leigh Allen]
I know you loved me
But did you like me?
I know you loved me

[Verse 2: Dear Me]
I wanna be your drunk text romance
The type of love I only show when I'm too far gone to try to lie
I limit myself until I'm unable to censor my words
I erase my thoughts
I do not allow myself to think
I switch on the neurotransmitters in my brain to release endorphins
I swallow it down and convert it to nausea
I can no longer let love rot away in the lining of my stomach
I let it flow through the fingertips of our untwined heartstrings
A direct line between my soul and yours
What's the difference between a best friend and a soulmate anyway?
In the morning when you sober up
I exhale you like a stale cigarette
And like always, you hurt most on the way out
If there was a way out, I'd still choose it
Sometimes all we ever get are memories to fill empty spaces
Why can't I fall out of love with you?

[Chorus: Hunter Leigh Allen]
I know you loved me
Did you like me ever?
Aren't I clever?
Deciphering your drunk texts
I'm detective
You, the suspect

[Bridge: Hunter Leigh Allen]
These walls are stained, the smoke remains
The fires tamed but I'm the same
You wanted warmth near every night
Then in the morning, you changed your mind
I know that it was only fear
But flames like these don't wait, my dear
I know that it was only fear
But flames like these don't wait, my dear
(Don't wait, my dear)

[Outro: Hunter Leigh Allen]
(I know you loved me)
(Did you like me ever?)
(Aren't I clever?)
