You could never seem to grasp the concept
But each time you let yourself be swept
Off your feet, you've taken another plunge
An attitude you'll never expunge
The possibility of a new romance
Quells your fears as he makes his advance
So convinced, are you, that nothing happens by chance
Willingly submits to another hypnotic trance
He comes along, exuding charm and sophistication
You're sure his perfect image is not of your own creation
Embracing how he sets your heart a-flutter
Just his voice can melt you like hot butter
Warning bells are so easy to ignore
All else can wait, right now he's yours to adore
Love is really more deaf than blind
As unrealistic fantasy and expectations intertwine
The nagging suspicion it's falling apart
Creeps upon you like a creature of the dark
Rational thought gives way to conflicting emotion
Back and forth rallies brings your judgment into question
When asked 'what's wrong', the topic he circumvents
Communication breaks down; each text received is a major event
Emotions boil over while you wait by the phone
Not once in those five days did you not miss his cologne
The outstanding feeling was of confusion, not depression
Struggling through a swamp of mixed signals and misdirection
Repeated replaying every moment in your head
Trying to pinpoint what you should have done instead
More than once, you caught yourself pondering
If you were more attractive, would the outcome be more satisfying
Then came the usual phase of allocating blame
It falls on you, for thoughtlessly buying what he proclaimed
Words that meant, not the world, but a hell lot
Once sweet like honey, now you're force-fed distraught
He didn't set off with malicious intent
But his reluctance to commit cemented your torment
Whirlwind of europhia comes to a dead standstill
Where you felt fiery passion now holds an icy chill
But as surely as waves would crash upon a shore
A spark of hope would ignite sometime, once more
But each time you let yourself be swept
Off your feet, you've taken another plunge
An attitude you'll never expunge
The possibility of a new romance
Quells your fears as he makes his advance
So convinced, are you, that nothing happens by chance
Willingly submits to another hypnotic trance
He comes along, exuding charm and sophistication
You're sure his perfect image is not of your own creation
Embracing how he sets your heart a-flutter
