​separation anxiety Royal & the Serpent

[Verse 1]
Do you love me? Do you care?
When you leave it starts to feel like you were never really there
I'm so lonely, I get so scared
That the connections in between us will wear thin and start to tear
So I stop eating, pull out my hair
And bring up fights we settled years ago, I know that isn't fair
I know you love me, I know you care
'Cause when you come back, all the doubts I had about us disappear

[Chorus]
I'm sorry
I'm trying, I'm trying to love you
Forgive me
I'm trying, I'm trying to love you
How many chances do I get?
How come you haven't left me yet?
I wonder why
I get this feeling in my chest
When I'm alone, I must confess
I'm terrified

[Verse 2]
Empty spaces, separation
Makes me do such awful things, I'm such a burden and I hate it
Desperation, manipulation
Throwing tantrums like a child but I promise you I'm changing
