somebody you're supposed to love

Do you miss me on your shoulder?

Can you picture us and keep your composure?

As you miss me getting older

I wonder if you even need the closure

Yeah, you call me on my birthday

I'm surprised you know the date in the first place

You show up on all the good days

And when you do, I start to think that you've changed

But every year, you let me down the same

Don't say you love me just because

I'm somebody that you're supposed to love

Don't say you're sorry just because

You think the words alone would be enough

'Cause I want you to care, and not because you have to

I wish that you'd be there, and I would never have to ask you

But it feels like I'll never be more than just

Somebody that you're supposed to love

You don't have me on your nightstand

Does anybody ever ask you who I am?

Don't wanna question every smile on your face

And all the little promises that you make

There's only so much more that I can take

Don't say you love me just because

I'm somebody that you're supposed to love

Don't say you're sorry just because

You think the words alone would be enough

'Cause I want you to care, and not because you have to

I wish that you'd be there, and I would never have to ask you

But it feels like I'll never be more than just

Somebody that you're supposed to love

When it all gets bad

Hold even when you're mad

I'm dying to believe you

When you say that I'm all you have

Wish it could be enough

Knowing I share your blood

But I know that I'll never be more than just

Somebody that you're supposed to love
