Who knew the day would come where I would come to understand love songs? Depressing love songs about heartbreaks? Not just being able to hear the words being sung, but understanding the actual emotions and sensations behind the lyrics. 

Wish it didn’t have to be this way but

You and I will spin the world to make love

Good bye my friend

Hello heartache

Who knew I would be able to find companionship for my failed love in a love song?

Please wrap your drunken arms around me

And I’ll let you call me yours tonight

‘Cause slightly broken’s just what I need

And if you give what I want

Then I’ll give you what  you like

Why did I not realise sooner that it was during the times when alcohol got the better of you that you needed me the most, that you reached out to me the most? It was only then that you would need me.

Please tell me I’m your one and only

Or lie and say at least tonight

I’ve got a brand new cure for lonely

And if you give me what I want

I’ll give you what you like

During those nights you made me feel like I owned the world, like I had everything I needed. But  somewhere along the line, I became aware of how you would never be mine, that your heart had no space for me.

When you turn off the lights

I get stars in my eyes

Is this love?

Maybe someday

So don’t turn on the lights
