Indifference paints your eyes a beautiful hue,

Disinterest gives you an irresistible persona

Overlook me and I have a tunnel vision

Centre of attraction don't you dare pay me heed


Didn't catch my name?

It's okay, love, I'll write it down for you

Poor memory?

I'll repeat it every day

Too much?

I'll give you all the space you need,

But don't you dare hold me close


Don't you ever show me affection,

All it'll do is evoke revulsion

Smile at me, and you're suspect #1

Don't care for my heart,

This isn't about me

Spotlight's always on you, babe,

And that's how it's meant to be


Love me not,

And I'll love you more

Don't be kind,

That won't take us anywhere

Shower me with absence

And occasional smiles

Yeah, chase after me

After I've spent weeks getting over you


That's how you win me over,

Cheat sheet that'll always help

So, love me not, honey,

I'll love you more.
