Limerence

(Verse 1)

You walked in like weather that wasn't forecast

A low-pressure system disguised by your laugh

Your words fly around like a perfectly folded paper plane

Each one addressed to your unopened name

I catalog glances the way some count the stars

I rehearse conversations that never got far My nervous system hums at the pitch of your voice

I'm already ruined and I don't have a choice

(Chorus)

Limerence! Fever dream with your face on repeat

Limerence! Carving your initials in sleep

I'm collecting the crumbs you intended to leave

Painting a picture from things I couldn't believe

Limerence! You're the drug in my vein

The sweetest withdrawal I can never explain

(Verse 2)

I keep your "seen" timestamp like holy scripture

Clock tickin loud at 3:17, my new religion

Tell myself patterns are where the chaos lives

Then turn your politeness into oxygen

Write you letters I swear I'll never send

Imagine my hands on the small of your back again

Every song on shuffle is suddenly about us Worshipping shadows and calling it trust

(Chorus)

Limerence! Cathedral of almost and if

Limerence! The beautiful lie that I live

I'm addicted to maybe, someday, to when

To the version of you that let me in

Limerence! You're the definition of sin

Bleeding out of the love that I felt within

(Bridge)

Then the mirror cracks clean down the middle

Your name tastes like iron, like blood, like a riddle

Holding someone else's hand so tight Disappearing then stealing all of my light

The fantasy fractures, the shrine catches fire

Hope turns to ash on a funeral pyre

I loved an idea that was wearing me thin

Now I'm learning how nothing feels worse than nothing again

(Final Chorus)

Limerence! You're leaving quiet as rain

Limerence! Carved your name then walked away

I don't hate you, I just hate what I became

Yeah, I let a mirage become my only flame

Limerence! I will never be the same

A life sentence impression, from your fuckin name!

(Outro)

I hate what I've become!

look at what's been done!

I hate what you've become!

It's like a game, a game you played for fun!

Pointed at my head is your loaded gun...
