Bad Romance

"I want your love, I want your revenge

You and me could write a bad romance

I want your love, I don't want to be friends"

You and I have been at odds with one another. I'll make you unhappy, then you'll make me unhappy, then we'll both get fed up with being unhappy and try to be happy again for the other person's sake. And we're both pretty good at convincing each other that we're happy.

So that's how it'll go until the curling fingers of unhappiness claws back in, like an insidious smoke that's just been waiting in the wings for the right moment to crawl over us as a reminder that you and I have problems that don't ever get solved.

I alternate between being frustrated and angry or indifferent and aloof. There is so much I don't know about when it comes to us, but one thing I am certain of is that I won't ever let you go. I don't have it in me to call an end to this. I would much rather be with you and unsure than without you and have all the answers.

I don't know what it'll take to make us be in mad, crazy love again, but I'll do anything. I want you, all the good and all the bad. But will you take me just the way I am? Because if you don't, you're going to have to be the one who does the breaking.
