Because Love Wouldn't Keep Me Sane

I know the truth
That means it’s my turn to lie
I know you never meant to break me
So I stop myself from telling you how much you make me cry
But this song is not meant to be about the sadness
And it’s not meant to be about my pain
These are not tears on my face
For once it’s just the rain
And I don’t care what you want
So just turn away and shut your mouth
It’s time for you to stop messing with my head
Because I realized I don’t need you or your lies,
Spilling even now from those ruby lips
That you lie to me with
And I can barely come to grips
With how much they make me hate you
Hate until anger is all I can feel,
Until my resistance to your smile is as strong as steel
Because this song is not about sadness
Not about my pain
It’s about me trying not to love you
And trying my best to stay sane
This is not meant to be a love song
Not meant to be a cry for help
Not meant to connect with old women
Or flawless young whelps
This is just a scream to the heavens
A wish for forgiveness and sanity
This is a cry to help me surpass
This world’s habit of cruel vanity.
I don’t need anything special
I just need to be left alone
The only thing that could break my shadows
Was the kiss that engineered this moan
This song is not about being despondent or filled with joy
This is not about peace or pain
This is about attempts to fall out of love
And me trying my best to stay sane
