Why are crushes so crushing?
Is that how they got their name?

Or is it from the crushing reality
that I could love you?

I've got this crush all wrong
There is no rhyme or reason
and especially no way

I think I just want to love
and you happen to be perfectly wrong
while being perfect and there

Maybe I'm just desperate for someone
Anyone
To be
There

And I know you're not The One
but can't a girl pretend?

I think I'm just going to keep pretending
And watch my pretend heart be broken
Like watching an awful movie
I can't look away, I can't stop myself

Its been so long I've forgotten
my own terrible nature
of romanticism and obsession

It the worst kind  of
combination to my heart

I can love more deeply than any person should
And I build to such heights
the only way down is devastating
the only way down is inevitable

I only do it to the impossible
Reality hits too many walls

While my dreams permeate right through
