[Verse 1]
I had a dream you killed me
Went after my throat
You cracked a smile and kissed me
And you cut me like a loaf
Been lying on the gurney
Bleeding like a pig
I took your hands and worried
Oh will I meet you there

[Chorus]
Even when it’s hurting
I hope you understand what you are to me
I hope you understand what you are to me
I hope
And maybe I deserve it
I hope you understand what you are to me
I hope you understand what you are to me
I, I

[Verse 2]
I wanna take you with me
Airplanе food for two
I'll put you in my suitcase
And come out barely bruisеd
I'm so scared of the distance
I'm scared of how you feel
And you're back in his living room
And I'm holding back tears
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm sucking on a stranger
And I'm picturing you move
You speak to me in languages you learned in boarding school

[Chorus]
Even when you're turning
I hope you understand what you are to me
I hope you understand what you are to me
I hope
And maybe I deserve it
I hope you understand what you are to me
I hope you understand what you are to me
I, I

[Bridge]
I don't wanna move out west
Wait on tables in Van Nuys
Beg my brother for money
And a credit card for the rest
Falling sicker and sicker
At the bar over myself
Sell my life to a label
Getting famous and getting shelved
No, I don't wanna follow
I don't wanna follow
[Chorus]
Even when you're turning
I hope you understand what you are to me
I hope you understand what you are to me
I hope
And maybe I deserve it
I hope you understand what you are to me
I hope you understand what you are to me
I, I
