[Verse 1]
See, the time is right
And I should feel a spark tonight
All I feel is fear
But I will keep it hushed
Ooh...
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Love is a drink from a bitter cup
Sip until I sleep, can't get enough
But it takes a toll on me
And I feel it like a guillotine
Yeah, the dissonant harmony
When I need a simple melody
Like the scent of perfume on the breeze
[Chorus]
Love is not for me
I tell myself until it’s deafening
Oh, but it's sweet until it stings
The cuts are deep and few and far between
[Verse 2]
I catch the rush again
And I sink into my bones... again
My sweet suburban lights
Will rescue me, you'll see
Ooh...
[Pre-Chorus 2]
We can run away to the desert
Tell me all the ways that you’re not hurt
And I'll drown myself in the light
From the galaxy there in your eyes
Yeah, the dissonant harmony
When I need a simple melody
Like the scent of perfume on the breeze
[Chorus]
Love is not for me
I tell myself until it's deafening
Oh, but it's sweet until it stings
The cuts are deep and few and far between
[Bridge]
I'm in a firefight
With my heart tonight
Can't take my own advice
I am fire and ice
I'm in a firefight
With my heart tonight
It's a tragedy
But everyone can see that
[Chorus]
Love is not for me
I tell myself until it’s deafening
Oh, but it’s sweet until it stings
The cuts are deep and few and far between
Oh, love is not for me
I tell myself until it's deafening
Oh, but it’s sweet until it stings
The cuts are deep and few and far between
[Outro]
I tell myself until it's deafening
But I could try again for you and me
