The Lovesick Boy

The lovesick boy
The lovesick boy

Midnight calls me by your name
Shadows dancing in the rain
We keep running back to fire
Even knowing we'll get burned again
Every time I try to heal
You come closer, make it real
Tell me why I crave the knife
If it's cutting through my life

I don't know what's dragging me down
If I walk away, I still turn around
Should I stop this before it starts?
Or let you tear apart my heart?
It's like we're waiting for the fall
Watching all the colors crawl

I'm the lovesick boy
You can't break this on your own
I'm the lovesick boy
I breathe the pain like it's my home
Maybe I was made to lose
Maybe I was made to choose
Lonely nights over the truth
Yeah, I'm the lovesick boy

No more letters left to send
No more promises to bend
I said I'd never need a soul
But here I am without control
Love's a habit I can't quit
Even when I'm sick of it
Swore I'd never fall again
But I fall for you instead

Maybe it's just for a spark
Something tiny in the dark
Is what we're chasing even real?
Or just something we can feel?
Still I'd do it all again
Just to have you in my hands

I'm the lovesick boy
You can't end this all alone
I'm the lovesick boy
Without the ache, I'm just a ghost
Maybe I was born this way
Chasing hearts that never stay
Loving hard but pushed away
Yeah, I'm the lovesick boy

You could've been my medicine
Instead you were my favorite sin
I didn't mean to lose my mind
But you keep pulling every line
Why are we addicted to
Something that just breaks in two?
Tell me why we still pretend
This won't hurt us in the end

I'm the lovesick boy
Falling even when I know
I'm the lovesick boy
Letting feelings overflow
Maybe love's my only curse
Maybe love just makes it worse
Still I'd choose it first
Yeah, I'm the lovesick boy

Lovesick boy
I could've been the best for you
Lovesick boy
But you let me fall right through
Why are we fighting for love?
Why are we fighting for love?
