[Verse 1]
I've been feeling way too undesired
Before the flaming out, all around, this was all on fire
I can feel the distance go for miles
But cold is all you are and it's causing chills
What's with all this? You won't even talk about it
[Refrain]
Can you be honest, is you just running out of thrills?
'Cause every time you put me second, yeah
Girl, make me feel wanted, don't leave me out here unfulfilled
'Cause we're slowly gettin' disconnected, yeah
[Chorus]
If you're still in love, oh, like you're sayin'
Thеn why don't you touch me? Yeah
I'm dressin' to thе nines and your eyes strayin'
Oh, why don't you touch me? Yeah
Why don't, why don't, why don't? Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
It's been so hard to stay close
If there's a problem say so, ooh
Now tell me why you never touch me no more?
Maybe I've been too possessive
Maybe I get too aggressive
Maybe 'cause I bring up what we shouldn't have done
Hard to be real, but don't deny what you can feel, girl
Maybe I just need attention
Maybe I'm not new enough to stay in love and so it's ending
Tell me it ain't ending, babe
[Chorus]
If you're still in love, oh, like you're sayin'
Then why don't you touch me? Yeah
I'm dressin' to the nines and your eyes strayin'
Girl, why don't you touch me? Yeah
Why don't, why don't, why don't? Yeah, yeah
[Refrain]
Can you be honest, is you just running out of thrills?
'Cause every time you put me second, yeah
Girl, make me feel wanted, don't leave me out here unfulfilled
'Cause we're slowly gettin' disconnected, yeah
[Chorus]
If you're still in love, oh, like you're sayin'
Then why don't you touch me? Yeah
I'm dressin' to the nines and your eyes strayin'
Oh, why don't you touch me? Yeah
Why don't, why don't, why don't? Yeah, yeah
[Outro]
You say I'm thinking too hard on this
But I don't feel your love, no

Shout-out to the undefeated, badass songwriter Kaydence. This was a tune that we worked on remotely during the pandemic and just felt like it was a cool angle to write about love diminishing in a relationship from a man’s perspective. And just the crippling feeling of being physically close to someo...
