Lyrics

External

[Verse 1]

I hope you take these letters from my shelf

By now you should know me better than I know myself

If I'm being perfectly honest

There's no convoluted metaphors for this hollow space

And I feel out of place

So to myself I say

[Pre-Chorus]

Maybe I don't love you like you do

Maybe I don't love you like you-

[Chorus]

Maybe I don't love you like-

Maybe I don't love you like-

Maybe I don't love you like you do

[Verse 2]

The smoke screens; it's all just flashing lights

What you see is sorted, organized

Tomorrow is already upon us

And substance seems to be just a thing of yesterday

So I feel out of place

And to myself I say

[Pre-Chorus]

(Help me)

Maybe I don't love you like you do

(Help me)

Maybe I don't love you like you do

[Chorus]

Maybe I don't love you like-

Maybe I don't love you like-

Maybe I don't love you like you do

[Outro]

Maybe I don't love you like you do

Maybe I don't love you like you do

Maybe I don't love you like you do

Maybe I don't love you like you do
