(Not) A Love Song

i don’t understand why you make me so sad

once upon a time you were all i have ever had

and i don’t really get why you cut me like that

my words stutter out, why’m i speaking so fast?

i just wanna feel like the smoke in your lungs

‘cause it ignites you like nobody else does

i just wanna reach out my hand your face

but you said you can’t deal with a basket case like me

but if you want me to change, i’ll sing this a different way

i’ll make this one a love song, not another one you’ll hate

bad blood but your heart keeps pumping

have love for who you’re becoming

sad but you can’t let go of the past

my heart was yours for the taking

loved you but it kept on breaking

why’s none of this ever built to last?

i often wonder if you can see right through me

but sometimes i feel like you can’t see anything

so do you still think that i was meant for you?

i’m not like all the other girls that you’re used to

i used to be proud just to call you mine

i look at you sometimes and i don’t like what i find

sometimes i wish that i could more for you

i wanna be gold but you always paint me blue

but if you want me to change, i’ll sing this a different way

i’ll make this one a love song, not another one you’ll hate

bad blood but your heart keeps pumping

have love for who you’re becoming

sad but you can’t let go of the past

my heart was yours for the taking

loved you but it kept on breaking

whys none of this ever built to last?

you asked me to love you like i have loved no other

this type of love, it always leaves me feeling smothered

bad blood but your heart keeps pumping

have love for who you’re becoming

sad but you can’t let go of the past

my heart was yours for the taking

loved you but it kept on breaking

why’s none of this ever built to last?
