highkey doesn't make any sense but here you go. for mi novio.

---

i think i love you and that's why i stay

i swear i say a million excuses a day

trying to justify something i just don't understand

you call me your maria but i don't think you love me

your attention's always fleeting and i know you're busy

but even i make time to see you when the stress piles up

and believe me, i catch myself wishing i could feel something of a spark with old flames

but goddammit i think i love you. . .

which means i'm scared to lose you

i've been told that i should leave you but i know i can't

maybe it wasn't special for you, it was for me

it is, how can't it be

god crying over you feels like a concept that should be so fucking foreign

am i breaking my own heart or are you really hurting me

i'm sorry if i bore you

i've given you more than i have anyone else

but was i mistaken?

tell me what i did to make you seem so cold

lately i feel like you're a stranger who only seems to know my body

even then, you still don't show me any love

you used to kiss me like you meant it

now it's called a chore

i can't help the pain it causes

when you talk to her more

so yes i'm crying baby, i haven't told you so

your distance makes me wonder things i'd rather not know

but when you never speak, assumptions are all i've got.

apologies fall too sweetly from your mouth for me to ignore

simply just your smile holds me to this silence

you said you'd make it up to me

i heard you promise, i've yet to see

my heart's still breaking though

but you wouldn't ever know.
