Gabbalation
-
I'm about to explode, with love
And go nowhere with it
Loving a stranger
'Cause I don't know any better
What is she doing right now?
Where was she, Tuesday?
Where could she have been?
I don't get it
Why do I want her this way?
Is this feeling completely O.K.?
What's wrong with my fuckin' heart?
I know this isn't "mutual"
It can't be
She doesn't even know me
I'll be damned if I scared her away
Shit, I probably already did
Whatever
There'll be another
But when the fuck will that be?
A burning love in my chest
Burst into tears aflame
She'll never want me this way
I may as well put a bullet in my brain
Who can want this piece of shit that I am?
Certainly nobody I've met yet
When can the real loving begin?
I suffer, here, eating the dirt that I've been dished
She'll just never want this
Time for another
Oh bother
The story never changes
My heart still a wanders
Love is too far yonder
Why even bother?
Love from her
I'll never get
I am just
A piece of shit
So I will crack up, and laugh
Laugh the pain all out
Instead of continuing
To love her a whole bunch
Too much
And I am done with her
