wanna keep things sweet
when you turned them sour
promise to play fair
then abuse your power
it was all fun and games
till your feelings got hurt
that's when all of sudden
this dynamic couldn't work

you held me with no hands
at peace in your gaze
we couldn't be close
but i knew i was safe

i let you do it
which i guess was stupid
thought the perks were worth the pain

on one hand it was my call
and you wanna pass the fault
because accepting blame serves no gain

figured it all understandably
easier to abandon me
than acknowledge your own shortcomings

you lead me on a chase
unexpectedly hit the brakes
the death of a never was something

crave intimacy
to my own dismay
to an unhealthy extent
what can i say
not unexpected
just short of a mistake
out of my control
my heart just feels a way
just want someone to know
and lips to trace
a name to remember
when i draw a blank
a hand to hold
when i don't feel safe
when i'm all torn out
a forgiving face
maybe that's a lot
but that's all i pray
i can only hope
it comes true one day
if this situation
should ever change
the idea of love
driving me insane
