I wanna love you but I don’t Songtext
von Ben Platt

I think it sucks that you′re perfect
'Cause you′re not perfect for me
And though you kill me with kindness
It ain't the kind that I need
I know we look good on paper
Until you give us a read
'Cause when we pull back the curtains
There ain′t a whole lot to see

I wanna love you, but I don′t
I wanna need you, but I won't
I begged my heart to start to race when I′m kissing you
I say, "I'm dreaming ′bout your face", but it isn't you


And I′m not trying to change you
But it's just not in the stars
I know there's somebody out there
To love you just as you are
When you finally find that someone who fits you right
You′rе gonna see I couldn′t be him no matter how hard I try
I know I wanna love you, but I-
I wanna lovе you, but I-

I wanna love you, but I don't
I wanna need you, but I won′t
I begged my heart to start to race when I'm kissing you
I say I′m dreaming 'bout your face, but it isn′t you
I wanna love you, but I don't
You gotta let me let you go
'Cause I can′t look you in the eye for another day
Won′t stay forever, so goodbye is the only way
I wanna love you, but I don't

(I wanna love you, I wanna, wanna)
(I wanna love you, I wanna, wanna) I wanna love you, but I don′t
(I wanna love you, I wanna, wanna)
(I wanna love you, I wanna, wanna)


I wanna love you, but I don't
I wanna need you, but I won′t
I beg my heart to start to race when I'm kissing you
I say I′m dreaming 'bout your face, but it isn't you
I wanna love you, but I don′t (I wanna love you, I wanna, wanna)
You gotta let me let you go (I wanna love you, I wanna, wanna)
′Cause I can't look you in the eye for another day (I wanna love you, I wanna, wanna)
Won′t stay forever, so goodbye is the only way (I wanna love you, I wanna, wanna)
I wanna love you, but I don't

(I wanna love you, I wanna, wanna)
(I wanna love you, I wanna, wanna) I wanna love you, but I don′t
(I wanna love you, I wanna, wanna)
I wanna love you, I wanna, wanna
