My Sweet Distraction

My mind was busy as a hive of bumble bees at honey time

Until I let you come inside ‘cause then I paid the price.

Now looking back, I shoulda known, I met you at the dead-end road,

You found yourself I lost my soul, instead of thinking twice.

I fell for you, now it’s too late.

I think I wasn’t thinking straight.

My thoughts were in another place,

Now all I wanna do is watch your multi colors all turn black,

Just walk away and don’t look back

And I’ll get my life back on track

Though it may take a while,

‘Cause I just can’t stop thinking 'bout your smile,

I’ve come to terms with my mistakes

And loving you has been a waste

But I can’t wait to see your face reflecting in my eyes.

And if I had a rising stock for every single pill you popped

And all the times you pissed me off, I’d buy you something nice.

This masochism never ends

It’s so damn hard to just be friends.

When helping hands we used to lend

Are waving their goodbyes and saying

Please don’t dance with someone else

But put my book back on the shelf.

I swear to you it’s just as well

We separate a while

Until I can forget about your smile.

Even though I’m gonna’ miss

The way the earth moves when we kiss.

It’s more the best it ends like this

Just leave me be a while

And maybe then you’ll finally see me smile.
