Music: Lil noodle
Late night
Your name on my phone again
Same smoke
Same mirror, same excuses you send
You say you changed
But it's seasonal, like wind
I believe it 'cause I want to
Call it weakness or win
I'm scrolling through old texts
We been here before
Lights in the city don't warm up
The cold on the floor
My friends say walk
But my heart keeps the door
If love is a debt
I keep paying more
I told myself once, twice
Three times no more
But the ringtone hits different
When your voice hits the floor
You sound like home
Even when you're a war
So I answer anyway
I answer anyway
I give you more chances
Than enough, baby, more than fair
When the silence gets heavy
I still find you there
Same promises hollow
Same late-night stare
I keep coming back
Like I'm caught in your snare
I give you more chances
Than enough, yeah I do
Even when nothing changes
I'm still choosing you
Penthouse views won't fix
The same old pain
If I champagne-toast the nights
It wont change your name
You show up ghosted
Then you come around like rain
I forgive the storm
Forget the damage, forget the blame
There's a list of reasons
To finally let this go
But love ain't logical
It's louder than my ego
I tell my people to stop
They all say "bro, just go"
But the line between
Habit and hope is low
I say "I'm done tonight"
But my hands type your name
The darkness talks sweet
And it's hard to explain
How every goodbye
Is a lesson I can't retain
So I answer anyway
I answer anyway
I give you more chances
Than enough, baby, more than fair
When the silence gets heavy
I still find you there
Same promises hollow
Same late-night stare
I keep coming back
Like I'm caught in your snare
I give you more chances
Than enough, yeah I do
Even when nothing changes
I'm still choosing you
Maybe I'm lonely, maybe I'm soft
Maybe I'm scared to be alone
Maybe the idea of you is easier
Than being on my own
Maybe I'm addicted
To the way you rewrite
My faults into lines
Or maybe I'm just tired
Of starting over on my own time
Talk to me, tell me what truth
You want me to hold
Are we real or rehearsed?
Are we warm or just cold?
You keep coming back
With rehearsed apologies told
And I keep answering
Like my heart's on payroll
I see the pattern
But the pattern looks like you
Familiar like a hymn
Even when the chorus is through
You say "I'll be better"
Like it's some kind of vow
I'm addicted to the almost
To the "I'll try" somehow
My calendar's full
But I'm scheduling time for lies
I'm a king in the morning
And a fool by midnight skies
I know my worth
But I fold when your voice aligns
So I answer anyway, every single time
I give you more chances
Than enough, baby, more than fair
When the silence gets heavy
I still find you there
Same promises hollow
Same late-night stare
I keep coming back
Like I'm caught in your snare
I give you more chances
Than enough, yeah I do
Even when nothing changes
I'm still choosing you
Maybe one day I'll quit answering
Without thought
Maybe one day I'll count the cost
And leave the door locked
But tonight the city's quiet
And your whisper's my drug
So I hit accept
And I answer anyway, love
