[Verse 1]
Have you ever had sad sex?
The kind where you cry quietly
It's not that you don’t like him
It's that there's something missing emotionally
And when he comes, he goes just like that
Have you ever had sad sex like I have?
[Verse 2]
Have you ever had real love?
The kind where your eyes lock naturally
It’s more than just tension
It's a soft kind of synchronicity
And when you come, you're completely satisfied
Taken to the other side
[Verse 3]
Have you ever been lonely?
Everyone seems unreachable
But what about that one guy who
Said he loved you back in high school?
Is he sober now? Did that girl move out?
Did he stick with the talk of it?
Does he think about me?
[Verse 4]
Have you ever been so wrong?
Set straight by the universe?
You got what you wanted
But it's the wanting that actually made it worse
And so you take that hurt to someone else's hurt
What do you get?
Some sad sex
[Bridge]
Hey, hey
Hey, hey (Mm)
Hey, hey (Hey, hey)
[Outro]
You wanna save me?
Don't save me
Oh, you wanna save me? (Hey)
Don't save me (Hey)
Have you ever had real love? (Oh, you wanna save me? Don't save me; hey)
Have you ever had real love like I have? (Oh, you wanna save me? Don’t save me)
Mm-mm (Mm-mm)
Mm-mm

I offer you this song
For those quiet, curious moments
Perhaps drizzled in shame
Or pleasure
Whatever your body seeks
May you feel seen
May you feel held
