Lava
Well here is the thing, my dear
Love is not for everybody.
They tell you if you work hard, then anything can happen
But they don't tell you that there are right and wrong kinds of work, right and wrong kinds of 'anything'
So put your shoulder to the wheel and chip away at her walls
Even though she wasn't asking you to.
It's the wrong kind of work, but do it anyway
And when you finally get to her core you will see that she is not something for you to protect because she's made of lava
She burnt out her heart a long time ago
Because love isn't meant for everyone
So get burned on her for all of your hard work-
Not the right kind of 'anything'.
Spit out bitterness on the pavement when it gathers in your mouth like bile
Work harder, try to fix her
Oh, but what they don't tell you is that she has already fixed herself the way she wants to be and you, you cannot change a thing
Try to make her your princess in the castle, try to make her yours
And it will never work.
It will never work, she is making a life for herself that doesn't have you in it
The worst possible thing you can do is try to force yourself into her future.
Don't you know it's the 21st century? Don't you know she's got to make it for herself and not for anyone else?
I'm sorry you're learning this now
That I'm the one to tell you
But sweetheart, love
It's not meant for everyone.
