[Verse 1]
If you don't finish cigarettes, that means you're not a smoker
It's not that serious, but every night that I come over
It turns to scrambled eggs and something burning in your toaster
You're not a relationship type of guy, but you're getting closer
You taste like coffee when it's not completely finished brewing
You're so committed to your non-commitment attitudin'
But if you wanted to, then I think you would fuckin' do it
Yeah, I think you would
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm getting tired
I'm not calling you a liar, but
[Chorus]
I don't wanna sit here in this bar and sip on watered-down excuses
I don't wanna talk you into caring, baby, you should wanna do it
If you're really so transparent, how come I can see right through it?
'Cause you're telling me you love me, but I know it's only true-ish
I don't wanna argue in your car and let the good parts get diluted
Every little "I don't know" and "Maybe so" and "I think one day I could do this"
I could act like I'm that cool, chill girl, but that'd be fucking stupid
'Cause you're telling me you love me, but I know it's only true-ish
(True-ish) Yeah, I know it's only true-ish
[Verse 2]
Lapse in your memory and gaps in all the conversations
You're twisting all your words, I tell my friends you're so creative
You're staying in tonight, but left out crucial information
Like who's that girl in your story and have you seen her naked?
And why did I meet your parents and shake hands over dinner?
And was the door ever open or only cracked a sliver?
You took your closure, went colder than a Chicago winter
No wonder why I'm bitter
[Chorus]
I don't wanna sit here in this bar and sip on watered-down excuses
I don't wanna talk you into caring, baby, you should wanna do it
If you're really so transparent, how come I can see right through it?
'Cause you're telling me you love me, but I know it's only true-ish
I don't wanna argue in your car and let the good parts get diluted
Every little "I don't know" and "Maybe so" and "I think one day I could do this"
I could act like I'm that cool, chill girl, but that'd be fucking stupid
'Cause you're telling me you love me, but I know it's only true—
[Bridge]
A few drinks in, your lips are on mine
Whisper I'm always on your mind
Sober up, it's not that deep
You're only in it, when you're under me
You're not the bad guy? Prove it
Swear you're not, but if the shoe fits
All this time, I know you knew it
If you wanted to, you'd do it
[Chorus]
I don't wanna sit here in this bar and sip on watered-down excuses
I don't wanna talk you into caring, baby, you should wanna do it
If you're really so transparent, how come I can see right through it?
'Cause you're telling me you love me, but I know it's only true-ish
I don't wanna argue in your car and let the good parts get diluted
Every little "I don't know" and "Maybe so" and "I think one day I could do this"
I could act like I'm that cool, chill girl, but that'd be fucking stupid
'Cause you're telling me you love me, but I know it's only true-ish
(True-ish) Yeah, I know it's only true-ish
