it only makes sense, she says.
it only makes sense if you know me.

but i do, he protests. he's hurt; this is love, to him anyway.

it can be love anyway, she laughs.
it can be love but you don't know me.


when he asks, says, tells, when he's serious, she laughs.
she laughs a lot. a lot, but it doesn't reach her heart.

ridiculous, he tells his friends.
i have to get out of this relationship, he says.
b-b-b-but he can't. head over heels, and she knows it too.
(better than he does, yeah.)


poison kisses in the rain, you were calling out my name
laughin' like the joke was on me

you're like a drug, he tells her.
(addicted to you, he almost says, but.
it gives her too much power, he thinks so he doesn't.)
she smiles, she says i know, she says i know.


wake up, hit the floor
oh no, where'd you go

he still swears (but only to his friends) that he will.
leave her, yeah, he says. yeah, she's bad business.


(but in his heart he knows he can't)
