Fuck Love Songs

Fuck love songs,
They're never accurate.
They're only cliché sayings
Forced with the melody to fit.

Love doesn't make you fuzzy,
And smile in the night.
Even butterflies fly away;
No one holds on tight.

It's not a fairytale.
It doesn't come out of the blue.
No one rides a white horse
Just to gallop in and save you.

No one sweeps you off your feet
And makes sense of everything.
No one prepares the sweetest speech
Just to share matching rings.

The world doesn't fade away
When two people dance together.
Love doesn't cause sparks,
Or make you light as a feather.

Eyes aren't for getting lost in,
Hands fit better apart,
Smiles don't light up rooms,
Voices don't melt hearts.

People aren't home,
They just like a show,
So love doesn't come back
When you let it go.
