about

The pain of being in a platonic relationship, wanting more, and feeling the need to poke around in information that will only make you feel worse. This happened to me so many times, it was impossible to learn from the mistake.

The worst part is that you have no one but yourself to blame- there is no reason for the other person to know not to fill you in if you're literally asking them for more information.

lyrics

My words of a lover
Answered by those of a friend
She smiles as she offers
Innocent conversation
Am I sure? She asks if it's okay.
What did she think I'd say?
Who does she think I am? In the moment, her
Words mean more than

The bliss of my ignorance, cognitive dissonance,
It can't be that she can't be mine.
Couldn't she read my mind?

She stays so oblivious
I act against my own interests
I find I'm starting to struggle
feigning my indifference
(self-inflicted, never worth it)
Probe more, how did she meet him?
Block four, I wish I could see them
flirting and having the time of their lives
I choose to wither while they start to thrive

My blood pumps in gallons, my stomach jolts out of place
But a smile stays planted on my face
I fake I'm fine
Couldn't she read my mind?
