In Case
Max Leone Lyrics

You said you′d call me If you were around
You promised me that you would reach out when you had the chance.

But it's three in the morning
It's late at night, a time when one would expect a call if someone really cared.

So why am I downing this cup of red wine
Instead of waiting, I'm drinking wine to cope with the disappointment.

Phone by my side
I keep my phone close, hoping for a message or call.

In case there's a change of heart
I'm ready for you to reconsider and reach out unexpectedly.

And I'll probably text you, 'cause I hate the games you play
Despite my frustration with your mixed signals, I feel compelled to reach out.

Look for the next you, but no one is quite the same
I might try to move on, but no one compares to you.

And I'm just online, pretending I'm fine
I portray an image of being okay on social media, masking my true feelings.

In case there's a change of heart
I remain hopeful that you might reconsider and connect with me.

Taking up your time
I feel as though I am a burden or a distraction in your life.

And take it way too far
I've likely crossed boundaries or over-invested in this relationship.

I can't find the line I drew in the sand anymore
I've lost clarity on what limits I set for myself in this relationship.

I apologize
I feel remorse for my actions and how they might affect you.

If I take it way too far
If my feelings or actions have overwhelmed you.

But I can't find the line I drew in the sand anymore
Again, I struggle to determine what boundaries I need to maintain.

Walking down Sunset
I’m out and about, trying to clear my mind as I walk in a familiar area.

′Cause I need to go somewhere
I feel an urge to move and escape my current thoughts.

I even got dressed, 'cause you like the clothes I wear
I've put effort into my appearance in hopes you might appreciate it.

I′m on Vermont but still no response
Despite being out and about, I'm still waiting for you to reply.

Maybe you just went to sleep
I try to convince myself that perhaps there’s a simple reason for your silence.

But if we leave right now we might beat the traffic
I suggest we go somewhere together to make the best of our time.

I heard when it's clear out, the stars are dramatic
I hope for a beautiful evening together, appreciating nature.

But you love tomorrow's or maybe next week′s
You often prefer to postpone plans rather than embracing spontaneous moments.

Or maybe you just wanna sleep
It seems like you might just prefer solitude over being with me right now.

Taking up your time
I feel like I’m occupying your attention when you might not want it.

And take it way too far
It seems I've pushed our relationship beyond what is comfortable.

I can't find the line I drew in the sand anymore
I’m confused about my boundaries in the dynamics between us.

I apologize
I express regret for my behavior and how it may have affected you.

If I take it way too far
If I’ve overstepped your boundaries, I’m genuinely sorry.

But I can't find the line I drew in the sand anymore
Again, I reiterate my uncertainty about the limits in our interactions.

I don′t really wanna waste your time
I genuinely want to be considerate and not burden you with my issues.

(I don't really wanna waste your time)
Repeating my sentiment that your time is valuable to me.

No
I affirm my feelings, emphasizing the importance of your time.

But baby, you can waste a bit of mine
I’m willing to give you some of my time, despite my hesitations.

You come and you go
Your presence in my life is inconsistent, fluctuating between engagement and absence.

You come and you go
This inconsistency between us continues to affect my emotions.

And I′ll just be waiting, oh
I remain here, anticipating your return or communication.

I don't really wanna waste your time
Reaffirming my concern about taking too much of your time.

(I don't really wanna waste your time)
Emphasizing this sentiment once again for clarity.

No
I persist in recognizing the importance of your time.

But baby, you can waste a bit of mine
I offer my time freely, even if it feels like it might be wasted.

You come and you go
Acknowledging the ongoing cycle of your presence and absence.

You come and you go
This pattern remains a source of frustration for me.

And I'll just be waiting
I continue to be here, hoping for some clarity or connection from you.

In case there's a change of heart
I'm always prepared for the possibility that you might reconsider your feelings.
