You used to take my breath away, but now I think I need some breathing space I don’t have time to catch my own breath, trying to keep up at my own pace And even when I gaze in your eyes, my heart doesn’t see your face But even when I look away, the image of you in my mind, stays in place Maybe this is what I call, saving face And we slow to resolve what we say in haste Tell me why bittersweet is a flavor that we savor the taste? And why we both seem to lose in these games that we play? It’s all too familiar but all too strange How we have our differences, but feel the same Hate to love and love to hate How we make love full of pleasure in a love full of pain And everyday fights feel new, but at the same time they feel stale As we both try to get a head, but end up chasing tail Punch drunk love, take a shot at it with some ginger ale Holding hands, but holding on by fingernails Volatile and constantly Fighting you is like a demon to John Constantine Oh God, honestly When I learn to let go something’s stopping me Don’t you understand to a man, there’s a different way we do apologies? And I pour out my heart but I never wear it on my sleeve And even though I act like I’m care-free doesn’t mean I’m stress free This is something that I gotta stomach, yo…check please
(Hook)
And it’s so simple but it’s so complicated How we hold hands but feel separated And we roll up at the same party at a different time But we always leave at the same time And everybody knows
(Verse 2)
Look into my eyes ‘cause I want you to notice that I got emotion but no That doesn’t mean that I’m emotional Rub me in the wrong way it’s like you rubbed a poison oak There's no way I will leave then on a joyous note Cause a boy like me makes you wish I stay a loyal one I last long like a fucking, Toyota And I can get my female friends to give me therapy like Loyola When you ignore me or blow me up on my Nokia And you wonder if you’re my amiga or my novia Maybe I’m in love or maybe got a phobia But believe me I can see better with my soul than my cornea But we fighting like North and South, Korea And you’re soft but your strong, you’re like a steel magnolia Maybe that’s the reason why I hate at the same time I adore ya’ And these games that we play are like Toys R Us We can be like little kids or act like grown adults Cause this shit's poisonous and it poisons us Waiting to exhale all this poison dust And it feels on the rocks, but I’m drowning to the ocean’s crust Companionship is what I, solely trust And you feel torn, but we got what we need to sow it up And they wonder where we go, maybe home to fuck
