Crumbs of Love is an emotional exploration of the complexities of modern relationships. The song dives into the feelings of longing and insecurity that arise when one person desires a deeper connection while the other refrains from commitment. It captures the bittersweet experience of receiving just enough affection to feel validated, highlighting the struggle of wanting more while being content with the little moments of love.
Verse 1:
I know you said you needed space,
But here we are, lost in this embrace,
Late-night calls and whispered dreams,
Acting like we're more than what it seems.
Pre-Chorus:
But every time I reach for you,
You pull away, it’s so untrue,
You say you’re not in love with me,
Yet here we are, a mystery.
Chorus:
I’ll take the crumbs, just give me those,
Even if it’s just a broken rose,
A touch, a glance, a smile that’s free,
Being loved a little feels better than lonely.
Verse 2:
You laugh and then you shut me out,
I'm chasing shadows, filled with doubt,
You say you don’t want anything real,
Still I can’t help but crave the feel.
Pre-Chorus:
Every time you say it’s just a game,
I’m left wondering, who’s to blame,
I want to be the one you choose,
But I’m so scared I’ll lose.
Chorus:
I’ll take the crumbs, just give me those,
Even if it’s just a broken rose,
A touch, a glance, a smile that’s free,
Being loved a little feels better than lonely.
Bridge:
You’re a fire that warms my soul,
But in your heart, I’m not whole,
And maybe I’ll learn to let you go,
But for now, I’ll stay in this glow.
Chorus:
I’ll take the crumbs, just give me those,
Even if it’s just a broken rose,
A touch, a glance, a smile that’s free,
Being loved a little feels better than lonely.
Outro:
So give me the crumbs, I’ll take what I can,
A fleeting moment where you held my hand,
It’s bittersweet, it’s all I know,
But oh, how I need you to show.

Write a song about falling for someone who told you they didn’t want anything serious, but you both continued talking and acting as if you’re together. But every time things feel a little serious they distance themselves and it hurts because you need reassurance to not feel alone. Have the song be about this but also about being fine with taking any crumb you can get because being loved a little feels better than not being loved at all.
