We only bring out the worst in each other

Keep each other’s lies about loving others

Lies like, “my heart can’t be broken, it’s just meant to be shared,”

and “love isn’t worth it without passion everywhere.”

But you can’t truly love her if she thinks you’re only hers

And I can’t truly love me if I let you set my worth

So, you say you love me, but, no, you don’t really

all we truly have are these passionate feelings

You say we are fire, and love makes us glow,

but these flames are now burning out of control.

Truer love makes the hearth of home warm,

but what we’ve got going is setting off alarms.

So, I say, “i love you,” and I want to mean it,

but the longer I stay, the more I demean it
