11. You Shouldn’t Answer

[sg1-thi-al-nd-iwu-03-97] [LS.v3.3.2026.0718R] [Verse 1] Knocked twice, waited, then knocked again, middle of the night, I know where you'd been. Light under your door, your coat on the chair, I'm not sorry I followed—I just needed you there. [Pre-Chorus] I told myself I'd stand in the dark, but here I am at the edge of your door. It’s not being wrong that’s killing me— I know what I want. I know you don't. [Chorus] You shouldn't answer, I shouldn't be here, you're half a breath away, just give me a lie. I know I'm gonna hurt for this, I know I'll try— you can't want me like I want you. [Verse 2] You said you should sleep; I said, “Don't lie.” Your shoulder went low, but your eyes stayed wide. My hand hit the doorframe beside your face, like I could make room where there wasn't space. [Pre-Chorus] We want rules till we're choking them raw, but I don't back off when your silence goes soft. What I can't undo sticks sharp in the air— you draw that line close, and I stand there. [Chorus] You shouldn't answer, I shouldn't be here, you're half a breath away, just give me a lie. I know I'm gonna hurt for this, I know I'll try— you can't want me like I want you. [Bridge] You once said limits make the air still. I hear that now, and I won't leave. Your hallway hums, my mouth goes dry— one plain way out, and I stay all night. [Final Chorus] You shouldn't answer, I shouldn't be here, you'll talk too quiet, I'll press too high. I know I'm gonna hurt for this, but I still try— you can't want me like I want you. [end]
