I fell in love with the feeling of being in love

I should have known it wouldn't last

But I had the traits and the confident face of a man

And I'll evolve if I can't adapt

So I fell in love with the feeling of my own hands

Stretching back, letting go

I shed the skin that I slithered in for so long

I rubbed my stomach raw

I can't identify the source of my

Overarching need to pry under your skin

I guess it started all the way back when

You and I used to pretend we were just friends

Now I'm overlooked and undertouched

I overcompensated for such

And I can't get back to where I once was

I wish I'd been the one to come undone

To have and hold this magic wand over your head

I can't identify the source of this

Overarching need to twist the knife in your skin

I guess it started once I realized

This life I once idealized is all gone to shit

Now I'm underdressed and overtouched

I didn't think that I'd like it so much

And I won't go back to where I once was

Thank God I was the one to come undone

Now I can hold this smoking gun over your head

I fell in love with the feeling of being in love

I should have known it wouldn't last

But I had the traits and the confident face of a man

And I'll evolve if I can't adapt
