I know you’re supposed to roam and run
the world is big so go have fun they say
don’t hide away.
I know you’re supposed to give it up
sniff like a dog and fill your cup with wine
at least some of the time.
But the world is cold; it’s only for the bold
love is just a story we are told.
Though the world is wide, I’d like to stay inside
cause every time they spoke to me they lied.
I know you’re supposed to say you care
to breathe in deep and fill your lungs with air
a refreshing prayer.
Cause air is love and it fills the streets
between you and the people that you meet
so clear and sweet.
But I know they lied, they tried to come inside
only to consume the food on which I relied.
I am the bruise; I will refuse
to let them turn my armor into ooze.
Love is shy, pale and weak
it isn’t safe for love to walk these streets.
The world is big but it’s filled with lies
smiles with its mouth but never with its eyes
what a gray disguise.
The world is wide but it’s flat and square
you can run and run but you won’t find love out there
on this I swear.
Although life is long, it’s only for the strong
hiding in the corner is the place where I belong.
Because the world is cold; it’s only for the bold
love is just a story we are told.
