My friends say I'm better off alone
But something keeps on dragging me to the phone
And the alcohol never helps much
With determining what's real and what's not
The wrinkles in your brain go deep
Intricate and tangled, poorly weaved
And I know that I'll never understand
But I'll try to stick around as long as I can
Oh honey, you're a wreck, it's true
And I'm doing all that I can do
And I don't think you need to be fixed
I just want to make you feel less like shit
So the weather's got you down, I think
Well maybe it will change next week
And you know I still like you a lot
Even when it seems like you really do not
Always viewing from afar
Never really seeing eye to eye
And it hurts, and it burns
But a lesson's never learned
Never relaxing
Always seem to be on edge
So maybe all my friends were right
I've gotta get you out of my sight
But this awful feeling won't go away
It doesn't seem to matter if I go or I stay
And I don't want to look at the sun
I'm on fire but I'm still having fun
And we never really got too romantic
Now's not the time to get caught up in semantics
So the golden age has left us
And i don't think it's ever coming back
I just want to help you
To get out of bed in the morning
To make you feel like you're not awful
To make you think that you're worth something
Oh
And it hurts, and it burns
But a lesson's never learned
Always ruminating
Was it really love at all
