Geoff called me a tornado. Joe called me a forest fire. Rick says that nothing makes me happy. I don't mean to be a natural disaster. Its just that my love can be sharper than a knife.
Tell me that you love me and I will break your heart because that is what I do sometimes. Or teach me how laugh and I will give you everything because that is what I do sometimes.
I have kissed you with my lies. Smiled at you with innocent eyes. I watched you fall for me, I watched you crumble. Warm enough to make you burn, sweet enough to make you return. I wish that for once I could love me too.
Tell me that you love me and I will break your heart because that is what I do sometimes. Or teach me how laugh and I will give you everything because that is what I do sometimes.
I don't want to make you cry. But I can only give you what I feel inside.
