I've been told that
I can't write a love song
I've tried a dozen times
So bear with me this one time
While I try to make this rhyme
Your hair's tied carelessly
As I'm scrolling through my feed
I say that this ain't love
But I'm lying through my teeth
Still
I can't write a love song
But not a day goes by
When we don't binge netflix in PJs
In the corners of my mind
Your smile can melt a frozen soul
But I'm dancing on the ice
I saw it then and I see it now
Every time I close my eyes
Still
I can't write a love song
'Cause the words just can't describe
How I love the way you're beautiful
When you don't even try
These last 3 years filled with regret
Compelled me to promise myself
If I could change the things I've done
I'd change only one
And that's that
I would write this love song
Far short of what you deserve
While my heart beats frantically
Out the pocket of my shirt
Your voice, it beckons my lonesome soul
Like a siren on the rocks
I loved you then, but I'll tell you now
'Cause I'm finally out my box
