Headphones

My heart is a pair of tangled headphones The music still plays but the melody is twisted All I do is try to unravel the notes And understand the lyrics But I can’t because someone has tangled my headphones Before it was just a matter of pressing play But now it’s so much more complicated See you’ve taken the melodies and made them hard to find You’ve caused me to work for the music To work for the songs The lyrics are still sweet but they’re now complicated The notes are still soft but they’re now sharp Each one cuts like paper Gently Overtime I’ll bleed out I’ll bleed melodic blood that drips in 4/4 time I’ll live by the music For those songs The ones you rewrote and complicated And I’ll die by the music With a soft smile I will embrace each little pain Because with each wound I’m reminded That you’re the one who did this You disrupted my connection to the music You changed my song The melodies sound different now The lyrics don’t taste the same Sweeter maybe You enhanced my senses when you took one headphone To listen to my song I’m glad you did Listen to my song I think you even liked it But then you took my senses back When you gave me back my headphones
