lyrics

I said "Hi" I said "Hello" I said "I think that I need you"
You said "Hey" you said sure, "What do you need me for?"
I said "Oh, never mind, I don't know, I don't know, I'll just do it on my own"

Hello
It takes two to pitch a proper fight
It takes two to propagate a lie
It takes two to ask a question
But only one to say no
It takes two to play a proper game
It takes two to make someone believe
It takes two to build a connection
But only one to shut it down

At the end of the day I just wanted someone to know me
At the end of my song I am dissonant
At the edges I'm frayed
At the end of the night I just wanted somewhere to belong
A place where I can always go
At the end of the day I just wanted you to hear me
In my dissonance

Hello
It takes two to pitch a proper fight
It takes two to validate a lie
It takes two to make a friendship
But only one to let it die
It takes two to play a proper game
It takes two to make someone believe
It takes two to build a connection
But only one to shut it down

At the end of the day I just wanted someone to care that I feel
At the end of my line
I don't know what's beyond here
Beyond here
At the end of the day I just wanted someone to know me
At the end of the day I just want to know I matter
To you

Hello
It takes two to pitch a proper fight
It takes two to propagate a lie
It takes two to change perception
But only one to see it my way
It takes two to play a proper game
It takes two to make someone believe
It takes two to build a connection
But only one to break it down

The separation is all mine
Anxiety is blind
I know in my mind, you're all around

But at the end of the day it's just me, myself, and I
In your voice I hear reason
In your absence I hear treason
After all, that's what I came to know

Hello
It takes two to start another fight
It takes two to ease somebody's fright
It takes two to make perfection
But only one to deny
It takes two to pick a different game
It takes two to build another faith
It takes two to build a connection
But only one to shut it down

I said Hi I said Hello I said I think that I need you
You said Hey you said sure what do you need me for
I said Hi I said Hello I said I think that I need you

Hello
