Cajoling me into falling for you,

I was a helpless spirit,

and you always knew the right things to say.

Yet, I couldn't bear it.

The thought of you, it brings melancholy feelings

lurking deep within my ribs.

And our minds start over-thinking,

knowing that we're anything but compatible.

But it's this diminishing spark.

A flickering glint of a lighthouse

deep into a starless night.

A gasoline lamp glowing,

illuminating the good old days,

which is the fallacy that maybe once

you were as messed up as I am.
