He was supposed to be a rebound,

Enemies to lovers never has real potential

Is what I've heard around.

But now the only time we'd be apart

Is when I'm six feet underground,

That doesn't matter cause we're up in your room,

The windows are closed and there's no sound,

"I think I'll stick around."




I have to be honest,

This doesn't really feel like a rebound,

I'm pushed to make a promise

That I swear your voice is the only real sound.

You held my hand and grinned at me,

Pulling an uno reverse,

I used to be the one playing around,

But you had me falling for you first.





He wasn't supposed to be so nice,

He was intended make me swear off ever dating guys,

But somehow I came to the revelation

He has the most beautiful eyes,

With him, my hell felt like paradise.

I should've run away at the first glance and I swear I tried,

But when he has a smile like that, God, who the fuck could hide?

What an unexpected surprise...




I put my hand to God and say,

This wasn't supposed to be real,

Somehow he's the only one

Around who I wasn't afraid to feel,

He makes me feel comfortable

When all I used to do was conceal.

All I wanted was an escape but my heart

Wasn't what he was meant to steal,

And then he looks at me with that goddamn grin,

And says, "Let's strike a deal."





This was just an intrusive thought,

We aren't real at all,

I'll fall back again,

To the guy I was running from,

Into his arms of cold,

But you're ivy that's already grown.




It's the craziest thing I've ever seen,

I'm waiting to wake up from a dream,

But instead I wake up at your side,

I feel naked, I can't hide,

This was supposed to be an intrusive thought,

But that's not the case at all.




He's not a damn rebound, no,

I could feel it all along but I didn't really want to know,

But now we can't go back

Because I'm tangled up in the strings

I made it clear to you we wouldn't attach.

If I said I was in love, maybe the universe would say that's a fact.

I fell in love the one time I wasn't supposed to do that.




I wouldn't trust my judgement ever again,

And I won't make the mistake of ever calling us friends,

I said I don't want any strings, but now you can cut them all up,

The one before you, I don't know who he was, but it wasn't love.

You knew I was running away from something

And I still don't know what the fuck I found.

But I'll stick around,

Cause you always knew you weren't a rebound.
