Lost Cause

She got a thing for metaphors that don’t make sense

One compliment and I’ve barely heard from her since

To most I’ve been the Prince but to her I’m just another guy

My inspiration and dream girl but to her it could all be a lie

No matter how hard I try I can’t speak for the ones that crossed the line

Meaning if she never believes a word I say all I can say is “fine”

There’s no hard feelings, that’s just the times we’re in

Love disguised as praise when it’s really just lust and sin

And here we are again, promises with trust issues for days

Genuine praise overlooked because you’re convinced you know our ways
