Let’s be real- every broken-hearted song
I ever wrote was about you
I’ve got it figured out: you can’t feel
No surprise feelings bore you
You wouldn’t need them, I do your feeling for you
And I guess it’s how you planned it to be:
I’m on call for your emotional protection
And you can only love what you see
I guess I fall with all that slips from your detection
But what happened to the love that I aimed your direction?
Does it hang around your head like a cloud?
Did it dissipate with the hot winds that blow out of your mouth?
It’s not that I would argue that you’re a bad person
It seems your heart’s too big for your chest
So you trim off all the edges and attempt to love with whatever’s left
It’s a dark cold magic that could make you love me I don’t wanna be the me I know you would want
It’s a dark cold magic that could make you want me I don’t wanna be the me I know you would love
Let’s be real- I have always been your girl
It’s just the way that you drew me You said you could undo me These are the terms of my existence
It’s this or nothing, how could I resist it?
And I think it’s how you planned it to be
I hang around and I’m down for whatever you’re into
And the things that you said still rattle inside me Like a broken off piece
I don’t think you meant to break me But what happens to the love that you take from me?
Does it hang around your head like a cloud?
Did it dissipate with the hot winds that blow out of your mouth?
It’s not that I would argue that you’re a bad person
It seems your heart’s too big for your chest
So you trim off all the edges and attempt to love with whatever’s left
It’s a dark cold magic that could make you love me I don’t wanna be the me I know you would want
It’s a dark cold magic that could make you want me I don’t wanna be the me I know you would love
Let’s be real—I have never seen you cry
I think your eyes wouldn’t let you
Their job is to forget how you feel
Pretend your heart’s not broken
When feelings find you
They grab their necks and choke them
And I think it’s how you planned it to be
I do all of your emotional deflection
And you can only love what you see
Your feelings only grow
More cruel when you reject them
But what happened to the love that I aimed your direction?
Does it hang around your head like a cloud?
Did it dissipate with the hot winds that blow out of your mouth?
It’s not that I would argue that you’re a bad person
It seems your heart’s too big for your chest
So you trim off all the edges and attempt to love with whatever’s left
It’s a dark cold magic that could make you love me I don’t wanna be the me I know you would want
It’s a dark cold magic that could make you want me I don’t wanna be the me I know you would love
