Fear of Abandonment

I heard you weep
From across the apartment
I wasn’t here for you
For an hour or two
It’s hard to flee
When it causes you such pain
But I wish I could talk
To other people

“I promise I won’t leave you unless you leave me”
There’s a few things I would do, but it’s stressful to be with you
“I promise I won’t leave you unless you leave me”
There’s a few things I would do, but it’s stressful to be with you

And I will take the pressure off of you
And put it on my back
Punch the walls or my heart
If it eases the pain
I’m terrified when you hold me tight
I’m not in love but sometimes
It kinda feels like you are
And I don’t want to stay … there

I just feel trapped
Inside of my own house
’cause you get mad
When I don’t respond to your texts
It’s not just that
It’s hard to commit
I just think it’s weird
That you ignore the age gap

I just want
To fix a broken person
But the more I try, the less it seems
That you need fixing at all

“I promise I won’t leave you unless you leave me”
There’s a few things I would do, but it’s stressful to be with you
“I promise I won’t leave you unless you leave me”
There’s a few things I would do, but it’s stressful to be with you

But I will take the pressure off of you
And put it on my back
Punch the walls or my heart
If it eases the pain
I’m terrified when you hold me tight
I’m not in love but sometimes
It kinda feels like you are
And I don’t want to stay
Squeezed by the grasp of your arms
