Awkward, Wounded, Selfish, Hurt.

Been a long time, right? I know. I'll try harder.

I'm not expecting greatness
Just expecting patience
Funny how we hate this
And still can't escape this
You tell me you'll wait
But then you get impatient
'If you loved me, then you'd do this'
Isn't motivation
"She was just a girlfriend"
"He was just a boyfriend"
Just like all the others
Left you disappointed
"Not trying to compare but,
When she touched me there, it used to-
Oh, now I've upset you.
Love, I never meant to"

Awkward and wounded and selfish and hurt
We say what sounds "right" when the truth doesn't work
Put love up on pedestals, place it so high
We can't even reach it, despite how we try
We cling to each other, claim that we need
Then run to the next with the fastest of speeds
Looking for something, that we'll never find
Probably cus we've had it, and left it behind.

Awkward and wounded and selfish and hurt
Fumbling at love and praying that it works
Awkward and wounded and selfish and hurt
Fumbling
Tumbling
Crumbling
