Don't Take It Personally
I didn't ask you out
I didn't give you my number
Or ask you for yours
Don't take it personally
It's just that it's Valentine's day
And that ain't my day
I don't believe in love anymore
And I don't want what only leads to pain
My heart will never break again
Cos I will never let anyone in
I won't be tempted with chocolate white rabbits
To feed your addictions or feed your head
I won't peek through the looking glass
Or reflect on that which I fear even more than Wonderland
Passing through the Heather, I will remain on my own
How does it feel to be ten feet tall when it's so far to fall
From the cloud you've been drifting secretly upon
Oh Alice, do you feel anything or is it easier to be like me
Void of he one thing you've wanted since your virgin heart beat
It's never been the same since that first one came
The beat never banged hard enough then fell into soft pulses
Coming down was a drag that grabbed the cheeks of your ass
Holding you down, refusing to fix what is broken within
Just like me, but my blood is clean, only my spirit is broken
My soul been sold to pay off the loan
I took out to purchase your love
That I knew I couldn't buy and would default on anyway
And when my therapist ordered me to smash the mirror
I knew I'd never see you again, but then I never really did
You were always just a distant reflection disguised in poetry
That tempted my heart to chance the feeling I fear infinitely
That I promised I would never risk losing, unrequited idolatry
So don't take it personally, our reflections pose one dimensionally
