I'm in a state of contemplation
I'll need to apply some meditation
I'm struggling with how to say
that I think I'll never make anyone stay

But I tell myself it wont last long
soon I'll be writing another love song
but I ask myself if it's truly worth it
If the best I'll ever do is getting no benefit

I'm still young and I've got plenty of time
but waiting for something from nothing isn't sublime
to tell you the truth I don't think I can wait
but it's not like I have much say in my fate

The only thing to do is wonder
and watch my love life be torn asunder
time after time and the cycle continues
sitting, alone, reading take out menus

is there really such a thing as a sole mate?
or are people just looking for something they can't hate
to distract themselves with some illusion
which, coincidentally, causes much more confusion

I'm in a limbo between hope and giving up
'cuz I don't really know how to "live it up"
so I'll stay in my room and I'll keep complaining
since when did being cynical become so draining?
