TITLE: I thought you called it love

i thought you called it love
(verse 1)
we could’ve been something
yeah, i mean actually something
but you don’t do real, do you?
you just do convenient
said i was “different”
that’s what you always say
funny how “different”
still ends the same way
(pre-chorus)
i was all in, you were halfway out
should’ve known what you’re about
(chorus)
i thought you called it love
but you meant “when it suits you”
we could be real, but you’re way too calculated
i thought you called it trust
but you always manipulate it
kept me just enough
never enough to trust
i was falling for it all—
i thought you called it love
(verse 2)
we could be easy, but you make it hard
turn every feeling into something guarded
say you “miss me” when you’re bored at night
never enough to treat me right
(pre-chorus)
i was real, you were playing cool
now i see right through you
(chorus)
i thought you called it love
but you meant “when it suits you”
we could be real, but you’re way too calculated
i thought you called it trust
but you always manipulate it
kept me just enough
never enough to trust
i was falling for it all—
i thought you called it love
(bridge – talky, sharp)
we could be us, but you’d rather keep your options
we could be close, but you’re scared of being honest
don’t say my name like you didn’t drop it
don’t say “love” like you ever meant it
(final chorus)
i thought you called it love
guess i just misread it
you say all the right things
you just never meant it
we could be real, but you’re way too calculated
yeah, i finally figured out
what you call “love”
(outro)
i thought you called it love…
i was wrong
