I can't tell what you're thinking

Please, tell me what you're thinking
Am7
Last night we were more than fine
                                Em
Just tell me if you changed your mind
                    D
If you changed your mind (Mind)

[Pre-Chorus: Lauv]

           G
'Cause I'm all, I'm all in

I'm calling, no answer

Would you text me when you feel like?

When it feels right to you
         Am7
But I'm all, I'm all in

I'm falling faster
Em
If you're looking at me
       D
with a heart of doubt

Just to let me down, down, down (Hey)

Don't mess with my head

Don't tell me you're falling

with your feet still on the ledge

I'm all out of breath
            Am7
Baby, don't run me 'round and 'round

Ooh, yeah

You know you've got me

in the palm of your hand

But I love those hands
