Description
I love the way you make me feel
And at the same time I dread it.
A flimsy construction of hopes and disappointment
For this was the house that love built
And the walls look sturdy, protecting us from the outside
But I know that looking inward, it’s a disaster we covered up.
You told me that you secretly regret
The missed opportunities that could have happened
And set me up with a fleeting dream
That maybe I could begin again
And maybe I could see you soon
Or maybe I could just forget.
And the problem with expectations
Is not when we fail to meet them
But when we succeed.
It’s then we raise our optimism
And one day find out
That we never accomplished anything.
I just wish I could just suddenly stop
With these visions and nightmares of the distant past
But just when I want them gone
You start to return
And with it, my sadness.
You ruined everything
And assembled it once again
Cold metal replaces the warmth
I once felt when I yearned for adoration.
This house is not a home
But I can’t lose these unwanted memories.
But it doesn't mean I can’t live in it
So I guess I’ll reminiscence in this building.
Insomnia will be my muse
Nostalgia will be my guide
Sorrow will be my inspiration
For the times I can’t get you out of my mind.
