Writing Love Songs

by Izzy Staden

on Symptoms (2021)

[Verse 1]
I keep trying to talk to you
But you're just looking round the room
And I'm too scared to say it straight
'Cause once it's out it's just too late
I keep trying to read your eyes
'Cause you're too blind to notice mine
I keep wishing for some words
I know that will never be heard

[Pre Chorus]
I don't want you
To lie to me
So just say it quietly
You don't want to
Pull me in
Where do you think I've been?

[Chorus]
I've been writing love songs
For someone, I can't get
Waiting too long
For someone who forgets
Lying right here, saying I'm fine
'Cause maybe next year you'll change your mind

[Verse 2]
And I'm hoping you wish this song's about you
But you don't even mind If I'm thinking of somebody new
Every time I drown myself in facts
You pick me off the ground like I mattered more than that

[Pre Chorus]
I don't want you
To lie to me
So just say it quietly
You don't want to
Pull me in
Where do you think I've been?

[Pre Chorus]
I don't want you
To lie to me
So just say it quietly
You don't want to
Pull me in
Where do you think I've been?

[Chorus]
I've been writing love songs
For someone I can't get
Waiting too long
For someone who forgets
Lying right here, saying I'm fine
'Cause maybe next year you'll change your mind

[Bridge]
I guess it's just what I deserve
Although you make me live, you never make me learn
And I guess life can be unfair
'Cause every little thing just loves to take me there

[Chorus]
I've been writing love songs
For someone, I can't get
Waiting too long
For someone who forgets
Lying right here, saying I'm fine
'Cause maybe next year you'll change your mind
I've been writing love songs
For someone, I can't get
Waiting too long
For someone who forgets
Lying right here, saying I'm fine
'Cause maybe next year you'll change your mind
