love letters

I'm trying to catch my breath
I'm trying to slow myself down
I'm trying to get a feel around
So I don't fall to the ground

All these cracks, all these breaks
I don't know how much more I can take

When's it gonna stop?
When's it gonna finally be over?
When I'm gonna not,
Be obsessed with a lover?

Believe me, I don’t want to be in this mess
Believe me, I know where your heart is at
I don’t want to be in love with you
I want to be through and say that was in the past

You say it's tough, you say it's tiring
It's more than that, it's exhausting
I've had enough

When's it gonna stop?
When's it gonna finally be over?
When I'm gonna not,
Say your name like it's now or never

Rejection,
Reflection,
Obsession,
Over you and your spontaneous attitude

Aptitude
You have no gratitude
When will I stop loving you?

I want to be done
I want you gone
I want to go back to the old days

When we were young
We didn't care about this
We the only thing that mattered was that we were friends

Now I'm staying up late, writing in my diary
Reading back all the things you said to me
Reading all the love letters you sent to me
When you were in love with me

Now it's seven AM
And I'm still lying in bed
'Cause I was crying all night
'Cause I want this to end

When's it gonna stop?
When's it gonna finally be over?
When I'm gonna not,
Memorize these events by tomorrow?

Rejection,
Reflection,
Obsession
Over you, what am I supposed to do?

Rejection,
Reflection,
Obsession,
Over you, and your spontaneous attitude

Aptitude,
You have no gratitude,
When will I stop loving you?

What am I supposed to do?
Still be in love with you?
