Magnets
i think i might be using you
because somethin’ just aint adding up
my best friend and i send each other screenshots
every time a mutual “friend” gets back with her ex
we sit and laugh and say
bless her heart
somehow when it’s you and me
it’s not so funny
i love you though
i do
i used to daydream of what it’d be like
walking down that aisle
with you at the end
looking into your eyes
trusting them not to let me fall
tears start to trickle down your face
you mouth three words to me
that must’ve been the cue for the butterflies
to flap their wings
hard as they can
now only thing holdin’ my body upright
is your smile
but the thing is
i can’t tell if it’s real anymore
physically yes
you look at me and my whole body quivers
i feel the pull bringing us closer together
you move
i move
like magnets
but you know when two magnets attract
and you gotta fight like hell to rip them apart?
i think there’s some outside force pulling on us
i don’t know what it is
but it’s stronger than anything i’ve ever seen
and it’s pulling us
it’s pulling us
wait
it’s pulling me – only me
and i’m trying to get it to pull you too
but it won’t work
you have to stay behind
i’m confused
and alone
by myself but you’re beside me
can i use you
if i don’t know that i don’t want you?
