Love isn't a feeling. It's like a muscle, getting stronger the more effort you put into it Flowers on special occasions are just empty calories Because the protein of love is being vulnerable Cannot grow without this When you left I tried so hard to stop loving you But even bodybuilders know; you don't just lose muscle mass It atrophies the more you neglect it Got weaker the more you pushed me away And though I've been building myself up The stretch marks of us will always stay with me To remind me of how mighty we once were A cautionary tale they don't write songs about
