[Verse 1]
Operator's on the phone, says I can’t be trusted
That's why you left me alone, it was broke and now it's busted
A little sunshine would do but outside it’s disgusting
It's barely making a sound, my heart is beating so loud
[Chorus]
I feel the sinking in my bones
I feel the pressure
Were you in it for the love?
Or were you, were you in it for the pleasure?
[Verse 2]
It's late July and the sky's so grey
Everyone's in bed for a month in LA
The house is so quiet, it's barely making a sound
My hands are shaking, my heart is beating so loud
[Chorus]
I feel this aching in my bones
I feel the pressure
Were you in it for the love? Or was it a game?
Were you just in it for the pleasure?
[Verse 3]
I dive into the pool, the pool was empty
There ain't no water now, my bones feel like an ash cloud
All the minuses and pluses, I try to write ‘em down
It doesn't matter now, my heart is beating so loud
[Chorus]
I feel this aching in my bones
I feel the pressure
Were you in it for the love?
Or were you just in it for the pleasure?
[Bridge]
I lie to myself so I can stay sane
A list of scratched out numbers next to names
And I’m runnin’ out of space
It goes on forever
[Chorus]
I feel the pain
I feel the pressure
What was it anyway?
Do you remember my name?
Or was it just a game?
Was it just a game?
Were you just in it for the pleasure?
