It's such a complicated situation
|
it always ends up in a fight
|
what I wouldn't give for some isolation
|
but I'm gonna stay with me tonight
|
|
I catch my gaze across the bedroom
|
we only need some time alone
|
lost in a haze of self indulgence
|
oh what's indulgence on your own?
|
|
it's an unrequited self love affair and it's not fair
|
I need to be there for myself but I'm not there
|
|
I am a danger to myself, let alone anyone else
|
I am a danger to myself, oh oh oh
|
|
I've such a needless need for vindication
|
I've gotta show myself you see
|
if only for stealing all the covers
|
and for taking advantage of me
|
|
I like to tell myself "I love you"
|
even if from behind grinding teeth
|
sometimes I'm sure I half believe it
|
am I getting the better of me
|
|
it's an unrequited self love affair and it's not fair
|
I need to be there for my self but I'm not there
|
|
I am a danger to myself let alone anyone else
|
I am a danger to my self oh oh oh
|
|
it's an unrequited self love affair and it's not fair
|
I need to be there for myself but I'm not there
