What is it like to hear their voice in your ear?
What is it like to have them far or near?
What is it like having those late night calls?
What is it like to finally fall?

All I see are red and pink hearts around me
So-called couples kissing up on the TV
Dates and soulmates, cheesy lines that I hate
‘Cause I know I’ll never, ever relate

What is it like having them butterflies?
What is it like to have them kiss you goodbye?
Is it like the love songs you hear on the radio?
What is it like to actually know?

Do you really get chills when they touch you there?
Having them hold you with so much care
Y’all talking fondly about each other for days
And I will never, ever relate

I try not to let these thoughts get to me
But I can’t stand seeing all these things I see
‘Cause deep down it’s something I envy
It honestly drives me ******* crazy

I almost want someone to take advantage of me
Don’t care ‘bout the consequences, just fill up my senses
Want nothing but their body heat, tell me that I’m pretty
Feeding off anything they say to make these tears go away

I wanna breathe the air they breathe if it means they’ll never leave
I wanna hold ‘em so tight, talk nonsense all through the night
I’m down for any lies if it’ll stop my cries
Don on a whole masquerade, I just want to relate

‘Cause all I want is happiness
Surrounded by sparks and hearts, meanwhile I’m loveless
I yearn for the feeling
I yearn for the feeling

Been waiting patiently, but I’m not getting any younger
If I wait any longer, I may lose my mind
What is it like? I need to know so badly

…I think I’m selfish.
