Connection

I'll never learn that lying's only gonna get you burned
Acting like my warm heart is in fact made of stone
Keeping it chilled just to get on by
Oh, I know the embers turn to ash every time

How do you do it with little consequence?
My mind is fried
Teach me your ways to keep yourself detached
Leave me my pride

Don't you hold me like that
Don't you dare even look at me that way
I'm tired of sitting here waiting for my phone to mention your name
No don't you treat me so well
Don't make me feel like I've just made your day
If you're just gonna run on home forgetting that you ever even came

Stop lying to yourself
You cannot fake a connection
I do not need your protection
But oh these butterflies and to surmise
I see right through your disguise
So if you haven't got them yet
I guess I'm the fool

How do you do it with little consequence?
My mind is has tried
Teach me your ways to keep yourself detached
Leave me my pride

Don't you hold me like that
Don't you dare even look at me that way
I'm tired of sitting here waiting for my phone to mention your name
No don't you treat me so well
Don't make me feel like I've just made your day
If you're just gonna run on home forgetting that you ever even came

Stop lying to yourself
You cannot fake a connection
I do not need your protection
Oh these butterflies

Stop lying to yourself
You cannot fake a connection
I do not need your protection
Oh these butterflies

Still waiting, still waiting
Don't make me feel this way

So don't you hold me like that
Don't you dare even look at me that way
I'm tired of sitting here waiting for my phone to mention your name
No don't you treat me so well
Don't make me feel like I've just made your day
If you're just gonna run on home, forgetting that you ever even came
