Bubble Gum
We can blow bubble gum
With our legs swinging over the the pier
The city won’t flood just cause of one tear
Is it conditional when you say forever?
Can we grow sick of the sweet taste together?
Watch the pink paste pop and stick to our faces
The best memories in our favorite places
The delicate stretch of the elastomers
Don’t blow too hard
You’ll ruin her
You’ve ruined her
You’ve ruined her
Again
The salty air can carry our sweet breath into the waves
So many contradicting feelings in this humid haze
The sound of something so calamitous is calming my mind
I’m so addicted to your love that I’ve gone blind
You say love me, love me like its breathing
Is it that easy or are you extending the truth
Can’t get the gum off my stupid tooth
Fast foward to 10 minutes later
I’m sitting here calling you a traitor
And in that moment I realized
I’m done with this compromise
The one thing that kept me from fading away
Is the thing that no longer wants me to stay
Isn’t sad
Isn’t lovely
It makes me mad
The taste of being free
The melancholia attacks
Can’t cover up its tracks
Isn’t sad
Itsn’t lovely
It makes me mad
The taste of being free
Bubble gum, bubble gum
A sickly sweet concoction
Bubble gum, bubble gum
You’ve put me up for auction
I really thought you cared
You’ve caught me so off guard
I didn’t know something I loved could leave me so scared
What happened to your promises
They’re starting to cut deep
You’re lies were so obvious
I really wanted to believe
You’re emotionless, indifferent, fake sympathy
All my bubble gum memories
Haunting me
All I do is try
All I do is try
Over you I won’t cry
No, I won’t cry cry cry
Isn’t sad
Isn’t lovely
It makes me mad
The taste of being free
