you make me crazy.
you make me look at my phone 18 times in 5 minutes to see if you responded to my 263 tiktoks I sent
Those same videos convey a secret message
One that I pray that you can not decipher
you make me crazy in the sense that you make me throw my phone when you take 10 minutes to respond to my flirtation attempt.
Flirting isn’t really something I do but you make me want to give it a shot
How is it you that made me someone that I can't even recognize
Not even a year ago, I was saying “once a cheater, always a cheater”
Now I am calling you misunderstood.
Why did I think that I would be different?
different than all of those much prettier girls,
Girls who always know what to say
Why did I think that you would like me
When you wouldn’t make it official.
you say you don't like labels, and then you call me yours.
You make me crazy.
My head isn’t even speaking in logic anymore
He is just a guy!
Why do I let him make me cry?
You just won’t put your money where your mouth is
A jukebox ending the silence
masks the dialogue in your mind;
That beat’s a saving grace,
with a chorus left on repeat;
Guitars that are louder than hell
are fresh air that open those lungs;
Finally you exhale,
the sound explodes into a storm;
Snarling they call it an anthem,
put your money where your mouth is!
Sometimes it is joined noise.
Either way? It will fire you up.
Hooking up when you need it most,
nothing matters but three minutes;
Bottled melodic aggression
tends to start a virus;
A theme song for the malcontent.
What is love, can anyone explain it?
Is it something you can buy at the store?
If you could, how much would it cost?
Would it have a lifetime guarantee
What? No guarantee?
What if it breaks down within a short period of time
Well... you're just outta luck I'm afraid
But what if you just spent a pile of dough on a diamond ring
Just chalk it up to experience!
That doesn't sound like too good a deal to me
Aww just give it a shot... what could you lose
Not sure! Had my heart broken before
Took me years to get over it
You only get to go around once
Go for the gusto, grab the brass ring
Put your money where your mouth is and all that stuff
Whatcha got to lose!
What is love, can anyone explain it
Is it something you can buy at the store
If you could, how much would it cost
Would it have a lifetime guarantee
What? No guarantee?
What if it breaks down within a short period of time
Well... you're just poop outta luck I'm afraid
But what if you just spent a pile of dough on a diamond ring
Just chalk it up to experience!
That doesn't sound like too good a deal to me
Aw just give it a shot... what could you lose
Not sure! Had my heart broken before
Took me years to get over it
You only get to go around once
Go for the gusto, grab the brass ring
Put your money where your mouth is and all that stuff
Whatcha got to lose!
