Jaded

January 13, 2018 by Russell Wardlow Leave a Comment

I’ll probably jade you and break you
Because I’m a mistake and I shouldn’t take you-
Out on a date, because love is high stakes
I may order steak, but I’ll have my stake
Ignorant of your cleavage, peering right through your breast plate
The only way to cause vampires heartbreaks,
I don’t like vampires, love is a vampire
so many demands I,
I’m sorry my hands tied, I’m sorry I’m anti
Spoon and a candlelight, daydream and romanticize
My heart has been vandalized,
You may have the cure for it, or you maybe too pure for it
I want you to love me and hate me, but hate that you love me and I’ll love you way more for it,
Yet scared of what I may have to endure for it
Love ain’t a sure thing, I’m never too sure for it
It causes that stabbed in the back pain, with no epidural for it
I’ll probably jade you
