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.
