Madly in Love

I don’t know what I want right now
But I want it somehow
You must give it to me
Set me free

You love me too much
Not enough as such
I want more but less
We must figure out which is best

I want you, but I don’t
I want you to leave, but you won’t
I wish you would stay
Please don’t go away

You don’t really know me
I don’t know who to be
All your love has driven me mad
I am happy and yet sad

This love is so complicated
Over sophisticated
You don’t make any sense
You keep talking nonsense

We can work this thing through
Just be someone else & not you
I am actually fine
I just keep losing my mind 

Only I can see what’s wrong
It’s you going on & on
You just don’t understand me
That’s the problem, don't you see?

I know we have something good
It’s written in blood
You make me smile
But now it’s over, if only for a while

You are immature with your feelings
You speak with many meanings
It’s time you grew up
I’ve put the kettle on, would you like a cup
