AVOIDANT (Explicit)

Lyrics by：Melanie Martinez/Christopher J. Baran

Produced by：CJ Baran

Whoever hurt you

Don't love like I do

I've kept my hand in the pot

For way too long 'til it falls off

What are you hiding?

The teeth I'm pulling

I've kept my arms ajar

While you took the car to keep fighting

Push and pull like tug-of-war when you

Leave I know it's never long 'til you

Fall back on your face why don't you just hold me?

I'm no psychic what you thinking?

But I predict that you'll be leaving

But don't learn here just to give her there

I worked for this

And you never wanted my love anyway

A detrimental game you play

I can't wait here forever

It's true I probably could find better

But I'm asking you to step it up

Don't hurt me like they did to you

What are your secrets?

Are they worth keeping?

Just let your guard disintegrate

Tell me all the ways you're feeling

What are you fearing?

That I'll be leaving?

Leaving

The more you stitch your lips until nothing slips

I could see it

Push and pull like tug-of-war when you

Leave it brings me to the edge of doom

Next time you fall on your knees I won't heal you

I'm no psychic I don't know if you'll

Fight for this or fight yourself

'Cause the next time I hear you yell at me I am runnin'

'Cause you never wanted my love anyway

A detrimental game you play

I won't wait here forever

It's true I probably could find better

But I think I'm better off alone

I've dealt with ones just like you

If the fall of our memory comes to be true

Then I'll know I did everything I could do

To show you the depth of what love can pursue ooh

When you're out there talking to someone new

Think of everything that I have given you

Maybe she can get some of that too

That's what my love can do
