When You Said I Was Sick...

(2005)
Jared Woods

I think I am an undiagnosed co-dependant
I write a poem on my phone and I send it to you
All the happy pills can't fix the sickness you invented
All I need is a little love

And when you fall in love, you think you get every love song
And when your heart gets ripped out in front of you, you know you really do

If my love is an ocean, your love is a parking lot
It's hard
It hurts a lot
And if my love is the stars then your love is broken glass
It glints in the sun

I think I am a perverted sex addict
My mind reminds me often that I had it with you
But of all the whores in the world I could've picked
I had to get sick with you

And when you fall in love, you can't eat or sleep or breathe properly
And when you can't look at the phone without dialing her number, you know you belong in jail

And if my love is a symphony, your love is an untuned chalkboard
It's black
It burns my teeth
And if my love is a rose, then your love is barbed wire
It digs a chunk out of me
And leaves me crying for more
