lyrics

They say you can't love someone until you love yourself
Well I loved you so much, I forgot the way that hating myself felt
Now 4:30 in the morning, you message me on Tinder
Because you blocked me on everything else
And you know I'll respond, and I'll write another song
Because you know me way too well

You've got me on the corner of your shelf
And I can't stand to stand with you, while you're watching somebody else
'Cause I'm too fucked up to drag along myself.

I'm stuck in an airport with a girl who used to hold my hand
And on the first plane back to Brisbane, I know I'm on my own again
It was a pre-arranged agreement, nothing more, nothing less
Nothing left of what we had, we packed our bags and set away

You've got me on the corner of your shelf
And I can't stand to stand with you, while you're watching somebody else
I've got no plans for when we touch back down
Let's go back to Canberra and we'll try to sort this out

I was 17 and scared
Now I'm worried I'll be 29 and petrified
That I didn't live this life of mine
With you and me
The reason I sleep in's why I've been losing sleep
I've given up, I'm letting go, I'm turning back the key

You've got me on the corner of your shelf
And I can't stand to stand with you, while you're watching somebody else
I've got no plans for when we touch back down
Let's go back to Canberra and we'll try to sort this out

It's new year's eve
I haven't seen much light for weeks
I've got blisters on my hands from grasping where the tap leaks
It's new years eve
I haven't seen much light for weeks
I saved a spot for you on the couch, right next to me
