LOVE ME NOT

Sick of waiting for your favor
So I'll tailor my behavior
I'm sure that I'm your favorite
So I try my best to save it

Your appreciation's worn thin
But I can't let that settle in
Though I wish you were a little more
For you I'd keep dreaming endlessly

Like a drunk card player
I'm ready to try my luck
Cut off all the stems, and place my bets

Love me, love me not
Culling the rose petals
Bouquet after bouquet
If the flower lands on the latter just try again

One after one they go
Falling to the floor in throes
When I've run out of tries
I take out the knife, and cut another stem to try again

Rehearse my lines I prep the stage
In wait for your return
Meanwhile, before my heart breaks
I mend and amend the pain

You two aren't a match? Oh, please
I know it's somewhere beneath
So don't worry I would never leave
I can fix what's incomplete

Like a drunk card player
I'm ready to try my luck
Cut off all the stems, and place my bets

Love me, love me not
Culling the rose petals
Bouquet after bouquet
If the flower lands on the latter just try again

One after one they go
Falling to the floor in throes
When I've run out of tries
I take out the knife, and cut another stem to try again

See, I'm just as good as a drunk card player
Ready to try my luck
I've cut off all the stems, and placed my bets

Floor covered in the same conclusion
I will delude myself
Until I land on the right illusion
