Limerence or Love?

(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

Now, I'm collecting the crumbs you intended to leave

Painting a picture from things I couldn't believe

Limerence- you're the drug and the 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, to someday, to when

To the version of you that let me in

Limerence- you, the perfect 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)

Limerence… I hate what I've become

Interference... look at what's been done

The silence... 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....
