Extra strong toothpaste
To dilute the taste of my lies
Can’t you see from my eyes
A million tears have been summoned from my heart
Day after day the pulse has weakened
But you still don’t notice me falling apart
And how I’ve conjured up sordid thoughts in my brain
From the absurd to the insane
Some would describe my perseverance as inane
But even when I lose, I refuse to complain
Just as long as you give me another chance
To do this slow dance all over again

The aroma of cigarettes and cheap perfume
Drift from your mouth and cold bedroom
Dancing along the waves your fingers tread
Up and down my yielding body of woe
Your awkward laughter sends shivers
From my head down to my toes
Drowning in a puddle of woes
A serenade of love? A serenade of love?
I’ve never felt more uncomfortable
Than you’re making me feel tonight
And my mums walked in on the two of us
So what does that tell you?
Take your time, I’ve got all night….

To be lovesick
Is trying to ignore your lovers past
On the off chance that it may last
Whilst drowning in its looming anxiety
Because it’s impossible to supress or ignore
From the surface written all over your face
To the deepest being of our very core

To be lovesick
Is trying to control the uncontrollable
And acting cool when they’re being insufferable
Not exploiting their insecurities
But to make them feel safe and adored
When they’re at their lowest ebb
Lost, cold and flawed

To be lovesick
Is to be completely vulnerable
When we’re at our most longing and hopeful
Although the indecisive suffering is hard to bear
There’s no choice but to see it through
If it means finding that person at the end of the road
Who appreciates everything that makes you truly you
