every time i speak

i don't believe in true love

i am alone by nature

i did not want to let you in

so why does it feel so classic

like some romantic story

now that you're underneath my skin

every time i speak

i speak to you

every time i reach

i reach out for you baby

every time i breathe

i feel your heart beating next to mine

is it real

what i feel

this time

i am distracted often

running to meet you somewhere

hoping the flowers never die

and then you leave me breathless

rushing to look in the mirror

surprised to see the face is mine

so what is wrong with me

i know i should be happy

i don't feel right in my own skin

i'm just waiting for this whole damn thing to end

all i can think about

is how i can just get out

love is maddening

love is maddening
