lyrics

How do I move on from you
Like I keep trying to do
I can't write about the news or find my shoes
When my heart is stuck like glue on you

I won't write anymore songs on your door
Or lay down to see you dance on the floor
None of it's real what you say that you feel
About me or what I feel for you

What will you have me do
How many hoops can I jump through
Light em on fire and call me a lion
I'll sell tickets to your circus for you
If there were a kiss or a glance I could steal
I'd rather be someone who feels as much as I do
Than someone who just wants to feel

I'd want to be free as you claim to be
But I'm not in it only for myself and me
Equality in this country is colorless slavery

I've seen the death of written words
The rape of raw magic
The end of privacy and true love
But that's okay I tell myself everyday
I'm not allergic to those cliches
