(Verse 1)
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
