Chords.
Talkin’ to you gives me butterflies,
wanna text you all the time –
I can’t help that I feel like this.
Talkin’ to you, stayin’ up all night,
yeh he knows somethin’ ain’t right
it’s just friendly until we kiss.
In the grey zone of duality,
feelin’ nervous when you’re callin’ me,
somethin’ ’bout the secrecy of us.
Then it hits me like reality,
I can’t lose him to a fantasy,
it ain’t heartbreak, but it still hurts enough.
Oh baby I’m crushed, (crush)
it will never be us,
that’s why they call it a crush, (crush)
it will never be love. (crush)
It’s been a while
since I hit you back.
Me and him, we had a chat
and I think it’s best I don’t reply.
It has been a while
but I can’t let you go.
And I should have let you know
but I’m typin’ it right now…
Got me wonderin’ if it’s destiny
or am I just bein’ messy?
All I know is I’m lovin’ the rush.
Then it hits me like reality –
I can’t lose him to a fantasy,
it ain’t heartbreak, but it still hurts enough.
Oh baby I’m crushed, (crush)
it will never be us,
that’s why they call it a crush, (crush)
it will never be love. (crush)
What’s the need for destruction?
This might get ugly – you will ruin my life.
Tell me, why do I crave your attention?
I got someone at home who treats me right.
It’s only just a— (just a crush)
crush, (just a crush)
crush, (just a crush)
Crush, (just a—)
crush, crush, crush.
(Just a crush) Crush,
(Just a crush) crush…
Oh baby I’m crushed (crush)
it will never be us, (ooh-oh)
that’s why they call it a crush,
(just a crush, crush)
It will never be love.
(be love, no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no, no, no)
Oh baby I’m crushed,
(ooh-ah, no-no-no, no-no-no)
that’s why they call it a crush,
it will never be love.
(crush)
