Maybe when I
confided in you
Through the screen
of my phone
At 2 AM
That I thought
I'd never
Fall in love again
I should've
Kept my word
Instead of making
An exception
Out of you
Because now
I'll have to find
Someone else
To tell all of this to

It is what it is
This thing between us
Cigarettes between your lips
The careful touch of your fingertips

It is what it is
This thing you don’t care about
Saying you hate me all day long
From your mouth it sounds like a song

It is what it is
This thing that consumes us
Bruised necks and stained sheets
It’s more than a fight between athletes

It is what it is
This nothing that will last forever
The weight of the world light as a feather
Just as long as we stay together

It is what it is
*I think love might feel like this

I know what you came here for
So skip the cheap words and alcohol
And lead the way to the dance floor

Our sadness is the same
Broken hearts dipped in black
Love is but a twisted game

Polite conversations are in vain
Small talk a waste of time
I’ll distract you from the pain

Come, uncross your arms
We can go anywhere
You can’t resist my charms

And as the night comes to an end
We’ll keep going , no destination
Just keep playing pretend

Come, you don’t want my pity
Take my hand, take this chance
The night is ours and so is this city

When I was 14
I used to think
With your arms around me
I'd never sink

Then I was 16
And I disagreed
With most of what you said
But I let you take the lead

After I turned 18
I figured that
Your intentions were good
But yours wasn't my path

The little girl
That always turned to you
Had finally discovered
Not everything you said was true

And so we grow up
But we'll never grow apart
You might not always be there
But you were there at the start

Different opinions on different matters
But you're not always right
You've built walls around your mind
And that's why we often fight

When I was 14
You wouldn't let me go
And five years later
You still don't know

For me to take risks
I need to make my own decisions
Even if you don't agree with me
Even if you don't share my visions

How can I learn
If I'm under your wing
It's on my own
I should be flying

Now I'm 19
And I need to be free
And I love you, daddy,
But you need to let go of me

You're honest, but why?
All I can do is lie
Still so much you can't see
Yet you put your trust in me
(For you, I'll be the best I can be)

Oh, you fragile boy
You think you're so strong
Thrown around like a toy
Been running for so long
(Oh, I'll prove you wrong)

Been knocking on your wall
Would you please let me in
No, you're not that tall
You can't easily be seen
(We can be better than we've been)

I don't know how this goes
Haven't tried it before
We've had our highs and lows
These feelings I want to explore
(They're too strong to ignore)

Shake my hand
This is what we sought
I'll make this our land
How could I not,
After all that you've fought?
(I'll fight for you with all I've got)

Sunlight hair
The smartest mouth
His touch a dare
You crave it, no doubt

All of his skills
No one can match
Attention kills
But his you catch

Outside a snake
But you see through
He makes the mistake
Of wanting you

In bed, a cat
Skittish but bold
He leaves claw marks
All over your soul

Holds you in his kiss
Oh, how you want to be his
What is it that you'll miss
*A kingdom, or this?
