Is it reasonable for me to be awake
When I really need sleep?
Is it reasonable to wear around your hoodie
Because it smells like you?
Is it reasonable to not want to eat or breathe
Because you're not here with me?
Is it reasonable to be mad at you for leaving
For doing what you got to do?
For telling me I'm the one you want to marry
But you don't even live with me?
Is it reasonable to be jealous of all your time and attention
that I don't ever seem to get?
For wanting to be the center of your world?
For wanting you to always prove your love?
Maybe it's just the insomnia talking
Maybe it's the loneliness daunting
Maybe I'm just an unreasonable human being
Maybe clearly isn't what I'm seeing
I hang on your every word
I believe you but then again I don't
When I'm stuck here
Waiting by the phone all night for a call
Is trusting another person reasonable at all?
Giving them your heart
Unexplainable feelings
Having trouble dealing
Being insecure
But feeling so beautiful
Wanting you to take care of me
And being upset when you don't
The way I want or need it to be
Being overly emotional
Playing coy with you
All the silly things lovers do
Acting crazy and paranoid
Knowing what's right but doing what's wrong
Letting inhibitions go
Letting your guard down
Letting yourself fall
Going all in risking it all
Questioning and second guessing everything you say or do
Guess the real question is...
Is it reasonable for me to love you?
Is there anything reasonable about love?
