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
