Love me less

LOVE ME LESS

[Intro — whispered, breathy vocals]

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Tell me how to let you go
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Why’s it hard to love you less?

[Verse 1 — soft, almost talking]

Your name still lights up my screen,
Like you’re still the boy I need.
I tell my friends that I’m alright,
Then miss you every single night.

I changed the songs we used to play,
But every word still sounds the same.
I’m getting good at acting fine,
Just not at leaving you behind.

[Pre-Chorus — vocals slowly building]

If I close my eyes, you’re there,
If I cut the cord, I still care.
Tell me why my heart won’t learn
That some things aren’t meant to return.

[Chorus — airy vocals, layered harmonies, deep bass enters]

I wanna love you less, less, less,
Get your ghost out of my chest, chest, chest.
Why do I miss what hurts me bad?
Why’s losing you the best I never had?

I wanna feel no more, more, more,
Stop waiting by an open door.
I say I’m done, but I confess—
I don’t know how to love you less.

[Post-Chorus — soft, catchy, layered vocals]

Less, less, less…
Why can’t I love you less?
Oh-oh, I try, I try,
But you’re still on my mind.

[Verse 2 — slightly more rhythmic, confident but sad]

I deleted all our photographs,
Still catch myself looking back.
I’m not the girl I was before,
I don’t even check your page no more.

But if you called me at 2 a.m.,
Would I let you back in again?
I hate that I already know
I’d probably never tell you no.

[Pre-Chorus — stronger harmonies]

If I close my eyes, you’re there,
If I say I don’t, it’s not fair.
I’m so tired of this in-between,
Missing you and choosing me.

[Chorus — fuller production, stacked harmonies]

I wanna love you less, less, less,
Get your ghost out of my chest, chest, chest.
Why do I miss what hurts me bad?
Why’s losing you the best I never had?

I wanna feel no more, more, more,
Stop waiting by an open door.
I say I’m done, but I confess—
I don’t know how to love you less.

[Bridge — beat drops, intimate vocals]

Maybe someday you’ll be a name,
A little memory without the pain.
Maybe your eyes won’t pull me in,
Maybe that’s where I finally win.

I don’t want you back…
I just want me back.

[Final Chorus — emotional vocals, harmonies rising]

I wanna love you less, less, less,
Finally breathe without this mess.
Maybe one day I’ll understand
Why I had to lose you to love who I am.

I won’t wait beside that door,
I don’t need what I needed before.
And even if my heart protests,
I’ll learn, I’ll learn to love you less.

[Outro — whispered, fading vocals]

Less, less, less…
I’ll learn to love you less.
Oh-oh…
I’ll get you out of my chest.
