He Don't Love You

Songtext

[Verse 1] You keep checking your phone when the room goes quiet Reading old little promises, trying not to deny it He says all the right words, then he leaves you waiting You call it complicated, but your heart knows what he's saying [Pre-Chorus] You shouldn't have to beg for a place in somebody's day Love doesn't make you smaller, it won't keep you guessing this way [Chorus] He don't love you like you need to be loved Not in the way that lifts you up You give him your whole heart, he gives you enough Then disappears when the feeling gets tough He don't hold you like he means what he says Doesn't see the gold inside your chest Baby, let him go, you ain't asking too much He don't love you like you need to be loved [Verse 2] You wore your best dress just to sit beside him Made excuses for the distance every time he denied it Your friends see the ache hiding under your laughter You keep waiting for forever, he keeps changing the answer [Pre-Chorus] You shouldn't have to chase what is already yours The right one won't leave you standing outside the door [Chorus] He don't love you like you need to be loved Not in the way that lifts you up You give him your whole heart, he gives you enough Then disappears when the feeling gets tough He don't hold you like he means what he says Doesn't see the gold inside your chest Baby, let him go, you ain't asking too much He don't love you like you need to be loved [Bridge] Take your name out of his mouth, take your pictures off the wall Let the silence tell the truth you were too kind to call There is a life beyond the waiting, there is peace beyond his touch You are not hard to love, he just never loved enough [Final Chorus] He don't love you like you need to be loved Now you know what you won't settle for You give yourself your whole heart, that's more than enough You don't have to wait by his door He don't hold you like he means what he says But you can hold yourself instead Baby, let him go, you ain't asking too much He don't love you like you need to be loved [Outro] You ain't asking too much You ain't asking too much Walk away with your heart untouched He don't love you like you need to be loved
