I Don't Love
Why do I act this way around you,
It's like I have no mind,
Is this how people in love act,
Because I'm not finding this right,
It's like a law against my nature,
For me to feel this way,
I'm praying, hoping,
That you'll go away.
I think I've really lost it,
I'm not talking right,
My tongue is twisted, knotted,
I'm frozen like winter's ice,
Who's right is yours,
To come and melt my heart,
I suddenly feel strange,
And it's not okay.
I don't love,
It's just a well known fact,
I'm not to be loved,
Portrayed like a neon sign,
Taped on my forehead,
Then you come along,
Ignore the warnings labeled
"Bitch ahead",
And decide you'll take my love instead.
But now I have to love you back,
And I just don't know how,
You may have undone my heart,
But my mind still's confused in the background,
I don't want to hurt you,
But I can't tell if I have,
These mixed signals are a killer,
Please tell me and explain.
Guess I'm insane,
Love is just an unknown word,
Oh no shit I'm a poet,
But love is a foreign pen,
Love is something told to the ugly girls,
Sitting down below in emotionless holes,
By pretty girls standing in their heels,
An arm around a guy's neck,
Hey, I've been stuck in my hole,
Guess if you love me you'll dig me up again.
