[Verse 1]

Misery loves company

But I’d rather be alone

My false romantic tendencies

Have made themselves at home

Like alcohol, these helpless thoughts

Impair my mind

My judgment may be gone

But I’m sure that I’ll be fine


[Chorus]

I’m not lost

I’m just waiting

I’ve been loved

I’ve been hated

I’m not well

I’m just jaded

I’m in love

And I hate it


[Verse 2]

Lullabies to sing at night

As the walls watch me muse

Of bluer skies and butterflies

And mindless platitudes

Bitter-sweetened memories

Impair my brain

But at least I’ve got my dreams

To spare me pain while I’m awake


[Chorus]

I’m not lost

I’m just waiting

I’ve been loved

I’ve been hated

I’m not well

I’m just jaded

I’m in love

And I hate it


[Outro]

I’ll be fine

I’m just needy

I don’t mind

I’m just bleeding

Hope you’re well

‘Cause I’m still healing

Why is love

So misleading?
