I went into this without expectations
So why do I wish something more developed?
I went into this knowing it would end
So why am I upset now that we're done?
I went into this wanting to avoid feelings
So why did I catch feelings for you?

What you want isn't always what you get
So make sure to expect the unexpected
If you want to avoid getting hurt

I thought that I had the upper hand on myself
I wasn't going to let you mess with my heart
Cause I knew the second I fell, it'd be game over
I was never in control, I never held the power
You made me think what we had was true romance
But I wasn't a lover, I was barely an acquaintance

I went from the lofty highs of cloud nine
To the cavernous lows of harsh reality
And now I'm lying on the cold, hard ground
Trying to find the strength to get up
But my body just wants to stay here
And deep down, so do I

I thought that I had the upper hand on myself
I wasn't going to let you mess with my heart
Cause I knew the second I fell, it'd be game over
I was never in control, I never held the power
You made me think what we had was true romance
But I wasn't a lover, I was barely an acquaintance

I said I wouldn't fall in love
I never learn, I never learn
I said I wouldn't fall in love
I never learn, I never learn
I said I wouldn't fall in love
I never learn, I never learn
I said I wouldn't fall in love
I never learn, I never learn

I should have kept my expectations low
Instead of telling myself it wad true romance
Cause you were never in love, not for a second
And I wasn't your lover, just an acquaintance
You were never my lover, just an acquaintance
Familiar territory in terms of subject matter but it's not inspired by anything that has happened to me, at least not recently. I find it a little funny that the more of these kinds of pieces I write, the less attached to them I feel. It probably stems from finding myself writing about similar stories so often, ha.
