half loved

Dean Lewis

You loved me on the weekends
When your schedule let you breathe
You loved me in the moments
That were easy to keep

You loved me when you were lonely
Or when nobody else was there
But somehow when I needed you
You disappeared
And I kept making excuses

Telling myself
That something was better than nothing

But I don t wanna be half loved
Half chosen
Half thought of

I don t wanna be the person
You remember when it s convenient

I gave you all my days
You gave me spare time

And maybe that s the difference
Between your heart and mine

I don t wanna be half loved anymore

I learned your favorite places
Every story, every scar
But you only seemed to know me
When it wasn t very hard

And every time I pulled away
You d pull me back again
Just enough to keep me hoping
Not enough to let me in

Telling myself
That something was better than nothing

But I don t wanna be half loved
Half chosen
Half thought of

I don t wanna be the person
You remember when it s convenient

I gave you all my days
You gave me spare time

And maybe that s the difference
Between your heart and mine

I don t wanna be half loved anymore

Cause I don t wanna be half loved
Half chosen
Half thought of

I don t wanna be the person
You remember when it s convenient

I gave you all my days
You gave me spare time

And maybe that s the difference
Between your heart and mine

I don t wanna be half loved anymore

Love shouldn t feel like waiting
For somebody to decide

Love shouldn t feel like proving
Why you re worth their time

And maybe you loved me
The best way you knew how

But I finally understand

That it still wasn t enough

I don t wanna be half loved
Half wanted
Half enough

I don t wanna spend forever
Trying to earn somebody s love

I deserve the kind of heart
That shows up every time

Not just when it s easy
Not just when it s convenient

So if you love me halfway

I ll meet you with goodbye
