I wanna love you but I don’t Song Lyrics

I wanna love you but I don’t by 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 known 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 beg my heart to start to race when I’m kissing you
I say I dreaming about 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 find me, find someone who fits you right
You’re gonna see I couldn’t be him
No mater how hard I tried
I know, I wanna love you but I
I wanna love you but I

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 about 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
It’s the only way
I wanna love you but I don’t

I wanna love you
I wanna, I wanna
I wanna love you
I wanna love you but I don’t
I wanna, I wanna
I wanna love you
I wanna, I wanna
I wanna love you
I wanna, I 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 about 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
It’s the only way
I wanna love you but I don’t

I wanna love you
I wanna, I wanna
I wanna love you
I wanna love you but I don’t
I wanna, I wanna
I wanna love you
I wanna, I wanna
I wanna love you
I wanna, I wanna
