The bright leaves were growing back on the forgotten oak trees,
Spring had set in, I could feel the newness of the breeze.
Everyone in the area was forgetting about the winter mania,
But I had a hope dashed,
I was holding broken glass.
You fell into my lap,
Simply, just like that.
How is a guy supposed to react?
When all he ever does is act.
I gotta break down these walls to let you love me,
You say I should just do it, it's not that easy.
I'm unreliable, I'm unrecognizable,
An enigma hiding in plain sight,
A mystery, misted into the night.
You had many questions whispering in your head,
I had terrifying answers, too horrible to be said.
I don't quite understand the man who lives within my bones,
There's no way I could allow someone to share my home,
When I am full of ambiguities, destined to be alone.
I have been tempted to confront the thoughts,
But I retract, believing them to be my safe guard.
Maybe I like being solicited in solitude,
At least then I don't have to worry about disappointing you.
I want to break down these walls to let you love me,
You say I should just do it, it's not that easy.
I'm unreliable, I'm unrecognizable,
An enigma hiding in plain sight,
A mystery, misted into the night.
I hurt and I harm all those who light my flame,
I am a poison, rotting your veins.
Please, whatever you do, do not let me love you,
I am an enigma in love, a dangerous, lethal shade of blue.
There's something so saddening about the sky's stars,
They are forever transfixed, never going to get far.
And, I can relate in more ways than one,
But now, as I near my third decade,
I feel ready to have some fun.
I broke down my walls to let you love me,
You said I should just do it, it was that easy.
I'm reliable, I'm recognizable,
I was an enigma hiding in plain sight,
I was a mystery, misted into the night.
I hurt and I harmed all those who lit my flame,
I'm no longer a poison, rotting your veins.
Please, whatever you do, let me love you,
I was an enigma in love, a dangerous, lethal, thrilling shade of blue,
Ready to create magical memories with you.
