[Intro]
All's fair in love and war
All's fair in love and war
At least they say to love and lust is better than not to never love at all
[Verse 1]
The other morning I had an out of body experience
I woke to find my body hanging from the staircase there it is
For some reason I couldn't be surprised
Probably because I already felt this way inside
Or is it because the fact I've been here before
Killing myself to give everything I've ever had to her
But this is different, feels similar but this about what I've done to someone else
This cycle is vicious
Love means it that you will have your heart broken
Sure enough you'll do that same harm to others
I've learned that shit at least
But it doesn't make it any easier to see the tears stained on your cheeks
My eyes are wandering while yours are watering
Because it's too hard to half hours meet, I'm sorry
What is else is there to be said?
When flames die black smoke rises above until there is nothing
[Hook]
When we want what we can't have like what we have is nothing (Nah it ain't nothing)
And we eat up lines and feed the same lies to others (Insignificant others)
When the pain replaces the butterflies in your stomach
When you bite off more than you can chew
You gluttons, if you're wondering that's what love is
[Verse 2]
What seemed to be more than I could ever ask for
Actually turned to be just that and more
For the lack of better words, I'll have to use flaming terms
Beautiful, that was the only other name for her
So why is that if this girl was so precious that I had to let her go and I couldn't accept it
Can't put my finger on why it had to be ended
Could have stared into this girl's damn retinas forever
For whatever reason I wasn't satisfied
I didn't think it was fair to have her whole heart when she only had half of mine
But absence makes the heart grow fonder
If that's true maybe I'll just be absent a little bit longer
But when butterflies die all that's left is cadavers of caterpillars
Not exactly romantic is it?
This images you strictly is proved things are not what they seem
That love is just a dream
[Hook]
When we want what we can't have like what we have is nothing (Nah it ain't nothing)
And we eat up lines and feed the same lies to others (Insignificant others)
When the pain replaces the butterflies in your stomach
When you bite off more than you can chew
You gluttons, if you're wondering that's what love is
[Verse 3]
It's the routine, the movies, the jewelry, the pet names
Incredible role in after why and when the sex plays
It's when you don't know what you're in it for anymore
Trying to remember if I'm better now or where I've been before
But I shut out the previous image
All I know is that I'm only passing germs with these meaningless kisses
But who hasn't done who used that four letter word
That which probably would of ended better if you swore and you cursed
It's that urgent, it's that hunger, for someone to invest it
Threw the word around but wasn't sure if you meant
You thought time would pass and then you'd know
And it grow to be perfect and wouldn't regret it
It's the love notes with those excessive o's and x's
Well at least that's how it used to be
How precious
Where I'm at now is not what I want
Well in the past, well that's what I lost
[Hook]
When we want what we can't have like what we have is nothing (Nah it ain't nothing)
And we eat up lines and feed the same lies to others (Insignificant others)
When the pain replaces the butterflies in your stomach
When you bite off more than you can chew
You gluttons, if you're wondering that's what love is
