Love should be a contract. After all, I have already signed away my soul to you In the hopes that maybe one day You'll learn to love me too
But it seems That I am the only tied down Not the other way around As I reach desperately for your hand to hold You brush it aside Then toss me to the ground
I guess for now, I'll settle for a love unrequited
And though your empty smile will never be enough for me That won't stop it from making my heart contract painfully.
