lost real love - Ariana Grande

Verse 1 You kiss me like it’s outta pity Hands cold on my waist in the kitchen light I keep buyin’ lingerie you never notice While you stay awake online all night I used to blame my body in the mirror Count every flaw under bathroom neon But it ain’t me, it’s the way you look at them Like that’s where your heart’s been all along Pre-Chorus And I found the folder hidden deep Videos you swore you’d never keep Boys with faces you replay on loop While I’m in the next room cryin’ over you Chorus Guess I was just the girl you settled for The safe little thing you didn’t have to want You never touch me unless I’m leaving Never fuck me unless we’re breaking up And it cuts deeper knowin’ every fantasy Has somebody else’s name attached You say you love me, then you lock your screen God, that shit hurts bad Post-Chorus Boys on your phone Boys in your head I’m lying beside you Still sleeping alone Verse 2 I learned your type without you saying it Slim waist, pretty face, reckless eyes Every screenshot felt like a bullet Every saved clip another fucking lie And now I hate the way I get jealous Of strangers you’ll probably never meet ’Cause somehow they get all your hunger While you barely put your hands on me Pre-Chorus You said attraction fades sometimes But baby, yours was never mine You gave your fire to everybody else Then left me begging for a spark myself Chorus Guess I was just the girl you settled for The safe little thing you didn’t have to want You never touch me unless I’m leaving Never fuck me unless we’re breaking up And it cuts deeper knowin’ every fantasy Has somebody else’s name attached You say you love me, then you lock your screen God, that shit hurts bad Bridge Maybe I should disappear Cut my hair, become somebody weird Maybe then you’d fucking look at me Like you look at them in 4K HD Or maybe I’m just wasting tears Trying to compete with all your fears You want their bodies, want my comfort That ain’t love, that shit’s torture Final Chorus I don’t wanna be your cover story Your excuse to look “normal” to the world I deserve somebody desperate for me Not somebody forcing himself to love a girl So keep the photos, keep the secrets Keep pretending I’m enough But one day you’re gonna reach for me And realize you lost real love
