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
