Detoxing

Love she is empty love is cruel

She wears a black cloak and makes you a fool

I am hiding in the corner until she finds her way out

Detoxing and pacing around in the kitchen

I gave her my songs she never listened

I’m tired of grieving so I go to the bar

You can give her everything you can make love feel seen

That won’t get you too far

Love is a drug she will keep you hanging on

She will hypnotize you and terrorize you all night long

If you need me I’ll be swimming in the shallow end

Love comes to taunt me she plays hide and seek

She’s a queen on the chess board

She won’t let you see her heart is tied to a string

Oh look at it floating away

She might kiss you in the moonlight

She might make you feel alive

That won’t make love stay

Oh love keeps living her best life

Dancing at the carnival

Someday she’ll wake up from that fever dream and see what she lost

Check myself in and stay clean

Never let love in again

Board up the windows and doors if she comes knocking

Years go by and love comes back around

This time she’s got her head out of the clouds

She’s looking for a safe place to land

You might be dizzy from the fall

Tired of breaking down her walls
