[Intro] All's fair in love and war All's fair in love and war At least they say to love and lust is better than not to never love at all [Verse 1] The other morning I had an out of body experience I woke to find my body hanging from the staircase there it is For some reason I couldn't be surprised Probably because I already felt this way inside Or is it because the fact I've been here before k**ing myself to give everything I've ever had to her But this is different, feels similar but this about what I've done to someone else This cycle is vicious Love means it that you will have your heart broken Sure enough you'll do that same harm to others I've learned that sh** at least But it doesn't make it any easier to see the tears stained on your cheeks My eyes are wandering while yours are watering Because it's too hard to half hours meet, I'm sorry What is else is there to be said? When flames die black smoke rises above until there is nothing [Hook] When we want what we can't have like what we have is nothing (Nah it ain't nothing) And we eat up lines and feed the same lies to others (Insignificant others) When the pain replaces the bu*terflies in your stomach When you bite off more than you can chew You gluttons, if you're wondering that's what love is [Verse 2] What seemed to be more than I could ever ask for Actually turned to be just that and more For the lack of better words, I'll have to use flaming terms Beautiful, that was the only other name for her So why is that if this girl was so precious that I had to let her go and I couldn't accept it Can't put my finger on why it had to be ended Could have stared into this girl's damn retinas forever For whatever reason I wasn't satisfied I didn't think it was fair to have her whole heart when she only had half of mine But absence makes the heart grow fonder If that's true maybe I'll just be absent a little bit longer But when bu*terflies die all that's left is cadavers of caterpillars Not exactly romantic is it? This images you strictly is proved things are not what they seem That love is just a dream [Hook] When we want what we can't have like what we have is nothing (Nah it ain't nothing) And we eat up lines and feed the same lies to others (Insignificant others) When the pain replaces the bu*terflies in your stomach When you bite off more than you can chew You gluttons, if you're wondering that's what love is [Verse 3] It's the routine, the movies, the j**elry, the pet names Incredible role in after why and when the s** plays It's when you don't know what you're in it for anymore Trying to remember if I'm better now or where I've been before But I shut out the previous image All I know is that I'm only pa**ing germs with these meaningless kisses But who hasn't done who used that four letter word That which probably would of ended better if you swore and you cursed It's that urgent, it's that hunger, for someone to invest it Threw the word around but wasn't sure if you meant You thought time would pa** and then you'd know And it grow to be perfect and wouldn't regret it It's the love notes with those excessive o's and x's Well at least that's how it used to be How precious Where I'm at now is not what I want Well in the past, well that's what I lost [Hook] When we want what we can't have like what we have is nothing (Nah it ain't nothing) And we eat up lines and feed the same lies to others (Insignificant others) When the pain replaces the bu*terflies in your stomach When you bite off more than you can chew You gluttons, if you're wondering that's what love is
