Opposites Attract

I'm two different people

They're polar opposites

 

My chemistry teacher has probably seen it

 

Everyone has

 

Just like hydrogen chloride

You don't have to go through the hell of a textbook to solve this one

 

I lie to myself

 

I want everyone to see how lonely and hurt I am, tell me I can trust them, hold me

I want to be loved

I don't want to be alone

 

When you're around you need to stay

Everything's better and it all goes away

I never knew what that was like

 

But that's the thing about polarity,

the positive comes with a negative

 

Go away

 

Go away

As far as you can

Run and break your ankle

But don't, I can't stand to see you hurt

 

Why won't you love me?

 

LEAVE

 

Leave

Or care

 

And I become pathetic

 

I miss you and I can't make up my mind

 

...

 

I guess molecules don't do that
