X, Y, Love


Calculate the pains and heart-aches, and multiply the smiles. Then divide the stuffy noses and countless tears. I've never broken hearts, just tripped on false wires. That trapped my puppy love, smeared my world in oil and dropped it in the fire. I've never seen the world in times of timeless split ends. Shifting the gears to stop my heart. Lost in math, lost in my faults. Looking to the left lies ruined my teenage life. Turn on my computer, turn off all responsibility. Send it down the drain, toss my mind in the trash. Destroy the papers doodled in class. While trying not to go, insane. I spend more money on wars. Then trying to medicate the poor. While i spend all my time, waiting at your door. When i should stop all my crying and just, dig through that floor. Well i passed my own test, and came out of the shade. Solved all the rest, but i still had my days. I ran away on the bus, as i watched you cry daily. tried to forget all the fuss, but i needed you so badly. Well this is the end don't let me down. Try a little harder and pick me up from the ground. So we can happily play and be together. So i can stop calculating and live with you forever.
