Retrograde
This relationship is going the wrong way,
it started off great, but as of late,
it has a foreseeable expiration date
Too many arguments,
too many dodgy eyes
Not enough trust between us,
got my head hurting from laying on an empty pillow of lies
I loved how you were so mysterious at first,
you were somebody unlike anybody I ever met before
Had a cool way of always being evasive,
but now I'm beginning to suspect why
I don't trust those crocodile tears you conveniently cry
This relationship is going in the reverse,
it's going retrograde
True lovers don't deceive one another,
that's a recipe for disaster homemade
Retrograde,
starry eyes moving backwards once the attraction fades
This relationship is headed the wrong way,
it's going retrograde
Now is the time to leave your lying inertia behind
If you want to swing the right momentum,
then fuel this sputtering rocket love with some truth serum
Otherwise, this romantic boost is going terminal retrograde;
this failed relationship has irreversible heart damage,
I'm afraid there's nothing left to be saved
