Tired of Loving Romance

Heart’s a wilted rose, petals on the floor

Sick of every love song, can’t take no more

Cupid’s arrow rusted, aimed it wrong

Hit me in the chest, now I’m singing this song

Flickering candles, shadows on the wall

Text unread, don’t bother to call

Wrote a thousand poems, burned ‘em all

Words don’t fix it, just let me fall

Dreams black and white, color’s gone missing

Kisses turned venom, the poison keeps hissing

Tired of loving romance, tired of the game

Tired of the heartbreak, tired of the flame

Tired of the stories, all end the same

Tired of loving romance, who’s to blame?

Eyes bloodshot, drowning in regret

Every “I love you” feels like a threat

Lips say forever, hearts play pretend

Romance a record, it skips in the end

Rain on my hoodie, tears mix with the street

Love’s a playlist stuck on repeat

Thorns in my side, no rose in the bloom

Locked out of heaven, stuck in my room
