lyrics

Why can't you be mean?
Everything's gone askew
If you were mean I wouldn't be here trying not to like like you

Why are you so fun?
It’d be easier if you weren't
This isn't something I want to go through
And I don't want to have feelings for you

But I can feel it, rising in my chest
Like gravity pulling me down
I can feel it, even though you can't
And I'm letting myself down by thinking about you
But I can feel it, even though you can't

Why am I catching feelings?
I'm caught in your current,
No matter what I do
Til' I'm washed up here on the shore, trying not to like you

Why can't you just like me?
You now see me as a friend
I wish I made you feel something else
But trying to change someone never helps

But I can feel it, rising in my chest
Like gravity pulling me down
I can feel it, even though you can't
And I’m letting myself down by thinking about you
But I can feel it, even though you can't

I wish you didn't distract me
Wish it wasn't true
It's clear I'm not distracting to you
Kinda wish you knew
Wish you felt it too
But it’s clear I can't follow this through

Yet still, I can feel it rising in my chest
Like gravity pulling me straight down
I can feel it but I know you can't
And I'm letting myself down
'Cause I keep thinking about you
But I can't help it ‘cause
I can feel it
But I know you can't
You can’t
Oooh, but I swish you could
