"Andrew" lyrics - BEN PLATT

BEN PLATT
"Andrew"

His hair falls in cool careless waves without tryin'
Goes days without cryin' but still treats me kind
And it's not his fault, all the sleep I've been losin'
The way that I'm ruined, one look in his eyes and I'm gone

[Pre-Chorus:]
Helplessly dumb, my senses go numb, my brain is on fire
They say wantin' someone is supposed to be fun
That's because they never loved an Andrew

[Chorus:]
Honey, I know there's no one to blame
But honestly, damn you
It's just a cruel joke that chemicals play
You don't wanna kiss me, 'cause I'm not at all
Like the girls in the posters that hang on your wall
What a time-wastin' heartbreak to fall, for an Andrew

[Post-Chorus:]
Ooh-ooh-ooh

He floats through the air unaware of the damage
A hard right of passage for soft-hearted boys
He smiles like a friend, puts his hand on my shoulder
If I can't get closer, then I am destroyed and I'm gone

[Pre-Chorus:]
Helplessly dumb, my senses go numb, my brain is on fire
They just can't understand why it hurts me so bad
That's because they've never had an Andrew

[Chorus:]
Honey, I know there's no one to blame
But honestly, damn you
It's just a cruel joke that chemicals play
You don't wanna kiss me, 'cause I'm not at all
Like the girls in the posters that hang on your wall
What a time-wastin' heartbreak to fall, for an Andrew

[Bridge:]
What a time-wastin', sweet happiness-takin'
Self-esteem, mess-making
Heart-breakin' shame
Wanna hold your hand, and be more of a man
Like your world falls apart for me, yours stays the same
'Cause you're, Andrew

[Chorus:]
Honey, I know there's no one to blame
But honestly, damn you
It's just a cruel joke that chemicals play
You don't wanna kiss me, 'cause I'm not at all
Like the girls in the posters that hang on your wall
Wish that I'd never met you at all, sorry, Andrew

[Post-Chorus:]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
