Nothing I say can bring back those feelings
Although I've changed, you will never want me
Every day these thoughts continue haunting
But you've moved on and my love still remains
Thousands of memories, they plague my daily life
Right down to the mattress I turn in every night
Your voice still envelopes, still floods every room
And I can't take a breath without thinking of you
And it's so, so pathetic
oh it's so, so, so obsessive
And it's all my fault, I let you slip away
You made it clear to keep out of your space
This whole thing is too surreal but even make believe won't help my sorrows heal
I lied, I tried every shit trick that I could to persuade you to stay
I lost my head and started seeing you with eyes of dread disdain
I guess that's why they say "love is crazy"
I don't even leave the house anymore for fear of running into you
It would be too much
I've been told about how you spend all your time with your new love
And the possibility of seeing that, and the envy it would cause
Would definitely make me throw up and want to end it all
And it's so, so hopeless
But I can't help it
And it's all my fault, I let you slip away
You made it clear to keep out of your space
This whole thing is too surreal but even make believe won't help my sorrows heal
I lied, I tried every shit trick that I could to persuade you to stay
But in the end it seems that all I did was just push you away
I guess that's why they say "love is crazy"
And to no particular divinity, sometimes I pray
That one day you will find me on your course and take another look at me
And see that I should be the champion of your heart
My soul is yours to take
Oh I guess that's why they say "love is crazy"
