What is it about love?
That makes you talk crazy
act crazy
think crazy
Makes everything else around you hazy
What is it about love?
That makes you think like a dream
Makes your heart feel like it’s ripping at the seams
What is it about love?
Where not a minute goes by without you thinking of their face
Always look for them in a crowded place
What is it about love?
What is it about love?

I don’t know
I don’t know what is meant to be
And what is not meant to be
When things are right, when things are wrong
The good vs the bad
I could never tell all along
What I do know is when I look in your eyes
I see the best friend I’ve ever had
And the best lover
It makes my heart beat but also tremble
Because I’m so **** scared to lose you
I don’t want to know what it feels like without your hand in mine
God knows it’s not for nothing
All this time
Still I do not know what the future will bring
I can only pray it’s you here with me

Lying in the night
Blood shot eyes and salty tears roll down my cheek
I ponder why I was always so meek with you
Why all I did was love you
Just to be shot down like I was a target and you had the perfect aim
You held the controller, I was the game
I took the punches and the blame
You stole my heart, ran, and I tried to chase
Ended up seeing you slowly fade away at the end of the race
You even took the last sip from the cup
I guess it was my fault I couldn't keep up
Too weak to fight
Left alone with blood shot eyes in the middle of the night

Now it seems like you want to erase me
Lock up our memories and throw away the key
Act like you never loved me at all
Pretend I didn't give you my hand each time you would fall
But you know I was there when everything fell apart
And you tore open my chest and took out my heart
You never gave it back
Maybe that's why you feel you have nothing to lack
Because I gave you everything
You still consume my thoughts every day and every evening
And I wish I could erase you too

0100 and I’m thinking of you. I can’t get you out of my head.
0200 I’m thinking of you and all the things you said.
0300 I’m thinking of you, your voice echos in my mind.
0400 I’m thinking of you and the solution we can’t seem to find.
0500 I’m thinking of you as I start to drift to sleep.
0600 I’m dreaming of you and for a moment you’re mine to keep.
1200 I open my eyes and wonder if you miss me too.
1300 I start to think I’ll never stop thinking of you.

I can’t sleep
My mind is flooded with thoughts
I think of you
My stomach is tied in knots
Is perfect even a realistic aim?
A shot in the dark has been known to cause pain
And if it does at least I would go down with a fight
Lose it all for you
Whether that’s wrong or right
Can anyone else relate to how I feel?
Nights like these make dreams seem real

What do you want from me?
My heart is yours as it flutters in my chest at the thought of you
The spaces in my mind are all occupied with the remembrance of the way you’ve held me
The movement of my pace begins to slow when I think too much about it
You have a control over me
But somehow you want more
Even the tears that come from my eyes seem to scream your name as they fall
What more can I give you?
