I've become a realist
I used to get so caught up in my feelings
Now you gotta really get to know me
Before you find something revealing
Maybe I'm a pessimist
Because I know there'll be end to this
Maybe that's why I am hesitant to declare actual sentiments
Yeah I know this love will fizzle out some day
Hey I just got a blast from the past
But who cares, I think we should try this anyway
Even though it's bound not to last
Cause I'm all about the spark
Which could turn into a flame
Which could turn into a fire
And I don't wanna be burned again
Yeah I'm all about the spark
But I know I'll be to blame
If my love burns out
And I don't turn out
To be the man you think I am
All these ashes from the past they blow away
Let's see what can be retained
At the end of the day
This has become my new M.O.
I anticipate the end from the get go
And if things look like they're getting too serious
I got this tendency to let go
But I'm taking precaution
And it might sound obnoxious
But it's easier to view these girls as just prospects
I'm just being honest
Hey you know I'm always looking for some inspiration
A muse to help me write
I'm looking for a good time call and by that I just mean a good conversation
I could write a whole verse about those eyes
Cause I'm all about the spark
Which could turn into a flame
Which could turn into a fire
And I don't wanna be burned again
Yeah I'm all about the spark
But I know I'll be to blame
If my love burns out
And I don't turn out
To be the man you think I am
All these ashes from the past they blow away
Let's see what can be retained
At the end of the day
But I know you
You don't deserve this
You'll refute that
We'll both get mad
It's not worth it
But you know me
Beneath the surface
Yeah, you know the real me
So touchy feely
And I get so nervous
Yeah you know me
And you like me
That's so confusing
I don't do this
It's kinda frightening
But I know you
You don't deserve this
And I'm torn between the risk of this and what is worth preserving
This is more than just a spark
This is more than just a flame
But if we see what this could be then we won't leave unscathed
I'm all about the spark
But I know I'll be to blame
When my love burns out
And I don't turn out
To be the man you think I am
All these ashes from the past they blow away
Let's see what can be retained
At the end of the day
