Sometimes we recognize all the red flags in a relationship but keep accepting the bare minimum to not feel alone. I wrote this song from a place where I kept wondering if my partner even liked me or just kept me around because it was familiar.
[Verse]
I navigate the static of your hollow space
Driving through the wreckage just to see your face
While you sit back, a passenger to my devotion
Staring through me, vacant, drained of all emotion
You offer tokens like a checklist in your head
Wrong flowers, wrong words, everything unsaid
A manufactured gesture just to keep the peace
While the isolation starts to crave release
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh I might be being dramatic
Screaming for you in an empty crowd
I fade and you make it so easy
I don't mean to sound so sarcastic
But when's the last time you said that you need me
[Chorus]
And do you even like me?
Or am I just a ghost you keep around?
Do you even like me?
A quiet habit that you haven't drowned?
Do you even like me?
If I have to feel alone, I'd rather be alone
Do you even like me?
[Verse 2]
You skip the chapters of the life that made me whole
Never ask about my blood, but want to claim my soul
You say "let’s build a future, let's create a life"
Then turn your back to the screen, blind to the knife
I'm reading the stars, tracing patterns in the dark
Searching for a fire where you couldn't leave a spark
Aligning the cosmos to find where we misaligned
But the truth is heavy, and it's making me blind
[Bridge]
Where is the romance? Where is the spark?
You left me to wander alone in the dark.
You don't listen! You don't see!
Do you love the routine, or do you love ME?!
I AM SICK OF THE SILENCE!
I AM SICK OF THE NEGLECT!
IF YOU CAN'T EVEN HEAR ME, WHAT DID I EXPECT?!
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh I might be being dramatic
screaming for you in an empty crowd
Why do you make it so easy to fade away?
I don't mean to sound so sarcastic
When was the last time you begged me to stay?
[Chorus]
And do you even like me?
Or am I just a ghost you keep around?
Do you even like me?
A quiet habit that you haven't drowned?
Do you even like me?
If I have to feel alone, I'd rather be alone
Do you even like me?more
