When I noticed you side-eyeing me smack dab in the middle of the square
I figured either you were just into me or that was a look of judgement
I didn’t get near
I remember what I sacrificed
Last man I liked I mistakenly tried to earn him and look what it got me
He’s nobody
My caricature
And he brings out the cold ***** in me
But the boy I saw at the pride parade
He was like me I could swear it on my life
He was with a group of friends alike
I was alone and feared that type
But he was so pretty I could wear his shirt after he wore it
Mend his heart after they tore it
I could change his life
Turn it into paradise
But I failed so many times
Say I did say hi
I did like you I…
You say I too
I look into your eye
Like I own this life
Fearlessly take you out on a sushi date or something
I know one thing
I’m the best you’ll ever have
But I can’t promise you’ll appreciate it
My last didn’t, his loss, he wasted it
But who is he when I have you
Across from me
Alive and true
We laugh at nothing
We want just one thing
Get to know you
Explain my emotional scars
Tell you about my music
Heartbeat of my heart
I follow your lead to your place
Netflix ta-dum, I’m on your lips
They taste like dragonfruit
Get drunk I would if I could
We keep at it and it’s getting late
I take your clothes off
Throw them aside
Dimming the light
Make love all night
Fall in love like they never did
Don’t care what they say to it
Be happy it worked out for us
Lucky this time
This could’ve been real had I not been so broken and said hi.
