Tryna balance the way she makes me feel with Benadryl
Cause everybody’s allergic to heartache
I can’t bother with the heartbreak
But I refuse to be fake and act like I’m not feeling you
A feeling I won’t shake or debate for the time being
Because ultimately chemistry takes time-ing
It’s forever pivotal
Not just tryna be your best-friend or whatever
I’m talking fairytales
Happily ever after
And yeah yeah
Slow and steady wins the races
But at this point denial’s my failsafe
Or is it the reality I gotta live with?
Seems like we’re moving apart
Ignoring the words of the court
Laws of attraction
The heart of love
Making it hard to love
Forever remaining at war with the art of love
Communication lacking
A simple fact we can’t deny
And in the end if nothing becomes of this I can’t wholeheartedly believe that we surely tried
The general myth about communication is that it happens
When in fact the idea alone heightens our inhibition to envision a future stripped of the facts
In order to display straight facts
A quick recipe for heart-attacks
Or for what makes the heart relax
To slow death
Here’s to clever letters eventually ending up in shredders
