I Just Want a Lover

I Just Want a Lover
In the united hate of america
the hearts are just as broken as the nation
where all we do is tear each other down
trapped inside this permanent staycation

i can’t believe i didn’t see
a mistake is just a state of my identity
and i believed that i will never ever get it right
the twisting of the knife
the bend until the break
and then it all goes wrong
a kiss and i go blind
can’t see, it’s just my fate
and it’s unlivable
yeah, i just want a lover who’s in love with me
not another liar making love to me
i’m sick of hoping
tired of waiting
i just want a lover who’s in love with me
i pick my conscience over clarity
and deal with the disparity
it’s anarchy
and the narcissists all run at me
with guns ablaze, no empathy
insanity
i can’t believe i didn’t see
a mistake is just a state of my identity
i got a feeling i will never ever get it right
the twisting of the knife
the bend until the break
and then it all goes wrong
a kiss and i go blind
can’t see, it’s just my fate
and it’s unlivable
yeah, i just want a lover who’s in love with me
not another liar making love to me
i’m sick of hoping
tired of waiting
i just want a lover who’s in love with me
