I've been searching for home in hotel rooms, looking for love where I left it
Something to tether my heart to, but I let go when I get it
Last time I left the door open, they messed up the clothes in my suitcase
I keep running back to that moment, I should let go and I'll get it

I need comfort but I hate being comfortable
I wonder why I hate getting what I want
It's torture but I can't seem to shake it off
(Shake it off, shake it off)

If I could retrace my footsteps to see where I lost my direction
Then maybe we'd never look back 'cause you push and I pull back
And you know I wish I could change but if I don't blame the past, I'll break this anyway (Ah)
'Cause if I could retrace my footsteps, it'd be me and I know that

I need comfort but I hate being comfortable
I wonder why I hate getting what I want
It's torture but I can't seem to shake it off
It's all in my head, I fuck up again and again
I need comfort but I hate being satisfied
Don't hope, it's the hope that kills me every time
Come close but not close enough to change my mind
It's all in my head and I know I'll do it again

Wanna stay, wanna run, wanna disappear
I keep biting my tongue just to keep you here
Made you wait for someone I could never be
And it's killing me
Wanna stay (wanna stay, wanna stay), wanna run, wanna disappear
I keep biting (I keep biting, I keep biting) my tongue just to keep you here
Made you wait (Made you wait, made you wait) for someone I could never be, whoa

I need comfort but I hate being comfortable
I wonder why I hate getting what I want
It's torture but I can't seem to shake it off, yeah (shake it off)
Comfort but I hate being satisfied
Don't hope, it's the hope that kills me every time
Come close but not close enough to change my mind, change my mind, whoa
