[Verse 1]
I can read your mind
I know what you're thinking
This is not what you signed up for
I could pray to God
But I'm not invested
And you get what you pay for
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I've been trying to find out if anyone
Feels truly happy because of all that they have done
'Cause I always seem to want more
Provided that I can get some
[Chorus]
There's me in the corner
Throwing a fit, making a mess of it
Don't you love me now?
There's me under the table
Hiding from my lovers and my allies
Don't you love me now?
It's just a hypothesis I test
That I should not exist
Don't you love me now?
There's me in the doorway telling you, please
You should just let me leave
If you love me now
[Verse 2]
I could bite my tongue
Trying not to say it
That my love for you looks different
I could bide my time
Hoping I can fix it
But it goes against my instinct
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I've been trying to find out if anyone
Feels super sure that they are deserving of someone
'Cause I always seem to give it up
Provided that I can get some
[Chorus]
There's me in the corner
Throwing a fit, making a mess of it
Don't you love me now?
There's me under the table
Hiding from my lovers and my allies
Don't you love me now?
It's just a hypothesis I test
That I should not exist
Don't you love me now?
There's me in the doorway telling you, please
You should just let me leave
If you love me now
[Outro]
It's just a hypothesis I test
That I should not exist
Don't you love me now?
There's me in the doorway telling you, please
You should just let me leave
If you love me now
