I'm Sorry, Lover

By Natalie Scott  

I'm an arsonistic kind of lover, a

Let's make love then burn this suburban house to 

The ground kind of lover, a

Self sabotage ‘til the day I die kind of lover, 

A lead you on, then run away kind of lover.

An adrenaline slut, bouts of passion, kind of lover. An impulsive

Change your life, let's book a flight and take off kind of lover.

A wild woman, get you hooked and

Leave you empty kind of lover. 

A flew too high and got stuck, Doesn’t want to 

Come back down to earth kind of lover. A

Leave you before you can leave me kind of lover.

A commitment-phobe, fucked up from

Old loves kind of lover but wants to be the

Right kind of lover kind of lover.

 

I'm sorry I keep hurting you, lover,

      I'll try to change, lover. But one day, we both know–

               you'll want something better, 

                                            Lover.
