False Hope
Why don’t you love me
I’d drag the sun down from the heavens for you
I’d stand on a cloud
beg him to come down
And if he turns his back on me
I’ll let his fiery tendrils engulf me
So i can steal a little heat
And bring it back to you
I thought i was a match for you
Why don’t you need me
I find myself stealing glances at you
Only when you’re angry or sad do i wish i could lasso the moon
And use it as a battering ram
To knock all your problems away
You don’t even need me to make you smile
I guess my love is a joke to you
I want to tell you about my infatuation with your smile
I wish it was the first thing i woke up to
Tell me you love me
I want to drown in your spirit
With no liquor
I get drunk off your energy
I’m dependent on this intoxication
Alcoholic
I stay by ya side so i don’t get a dui
Inebriated
This love shit ain’t working out.
You won’t let me in ya heart
So in my mind i kick you out
It was impulsive so i have my doubts
But what’s this love all about
It’s one sided
Fuck a blocked number we already divided
The square root of the lie was you
Multiplied by the girls who don’t love me like you
Plus the fact that I’m always who you’d run back to.
But you can’t flip it
I’d never reciprocate you.
I gave you the keys to my heart up front to get locked out
I can’t even get up the strength to pound on the door
I’m turning cold for sure
I’m out like a deadbeat
You just think I’m at the store
