I swear to God you liked me once
But now I’m not enough or way too much
My happiness seems to piss you off
But when I’m sad you don’t care at all

Worse things could have happened here
I feel more safe with you than I have in years
If I can’t find a way to see this through
Will your mom think I abandoned you?

Hmmmm I shouldn’t have to search for evidence you love me
Hmmmm I can feel that somethings missing when you touch me

Cause you’re half here and half gone
I was half right to stay strong
And I don’t know where I went wrong
So I made myself so small

There were good days in the bad years
And I re-live them just to stay right here
While I try to understand
How to love half a man

Guess I’m the product of a broken home
Giving more for less is all I’ve ever known
I try my best to not believe that
You could be mean enough to mean it

Each time I felt like an embarrassment
When I was trying to be affectionate
But the routine of it was kinda nice
You were predictable in all your spite

Hmmmm I shouldn’t have to search for evidence you love me
Hmmmm you’re only present when you find a chance to judge me

Cause you’re half here and half gone
I was half right to stay strong
And I don’t know where I went wrong
So I made myself so small

There were good days in the bad years
And I re-live them just to stay right here
While I try to understand
How to love half a man

So don’t hate me I wanted to stay
Don’t blame me for walking away
I can’t hang on to something you don’t wanna save

I’m changing, I’m tryna be brave
I’ve outgrown being treated this way
I can’t hang on to someone I know I can’t save

You were half here and half gone
I was half right to stay strong
And I don’t know where we went wrong
So I made myself so small

You were half in and half out
And half of me thinks it’s my fault
But you have to understand
I can’t love half a man
