Platonic

Will you always be so attention starved?
Why can't my attention satiate your endless crave?
Why are compliments worth more if they're from someone else?
Has time really extinguished your passion of love ? I think not.

I have got this dark dense swirl in my gut
I do not know how to act around you anymore
You are too transparent to keep up the game
Yes, of you and what you've done: I am ashamed
Keep it platonic? Come on, let's be honest...
You are selectively ignorant and he is calculatedly impotent.

Will you always be so attention starved?
Why can't my attention satiate your endless crave?
Why are compliments worth more if they're from someone else?
Has he really extinguished your passion of us? I think so.

What a paradox to want your man to be great
But not to want to see the process along the way.
A preference for pre-made, no need to see the
Rise, the fall and everything in between.
Keep it platonic? Come on, let's be honest...
You are selectively ignorant and he is calculatedly impotent

He had you, and now you're with someone new
So he did the next best thing set up a friendship
So when the time comes to cry on someone
He’ll have his lap open, ready, and waiting for you.
