Temporary Love
Now you've got me speechless
Each time you touch me with your lips
Tingling down to my fingertips
Now I'm feeling helpless
But is this temporary love?
When the going gets rough
Will all this be enough
Together, I feel so unsafe
What is this that I crave
But is this temporary love?
Tell me I'm being delirious
Tell me that we're completely serious
We weren't built to last
We just weren't made like that
But hold me like it's our last dance
And like it's your last chance
But is this temporary love?
It cuts me like a razor blade
When I've been waiting here for days
You can read my thoughts like they're on skin
Why am I so paper thin
Is it exactly how you imagined
Because I can't see the magic
So is this temporary love?
It used to feel like summertime
But is that sunset or sunrise
I wish I weren't so unsure
And I know it'll leave me impure
So is this temporary love?
I'm not playing a game
But I'll be the one to blame
I thought it was real then;
I guess I messed up again
So is this temporary love?
I don't want to walk myself home
I'm not fit for the lonely road
Even with a disguise
A feel so empty at times
Like I don't belong,
Tell me does it make me wrong
But is this temporary love?
One second it's me then yourself
I'm so dizzy from riding your carousel
We started as a spark-
Didn't think we'd come this far
Well here we are:
Momentarily lighting up the dark
But is this temporary love?
Can we burn longer,
Is whatever this is stronger
Stop trying to push me away-
Wasn't I here yesterday
But is this temporary love?
Don't call me honey
I didn't stick around for money
What's this based on
Does it matter if it's already gone
So is this temporary love?
You say you want me to explain
So let's start with the pain
I thought we were going to be forever
So I put in the effort
Clearly you didn't feel the same
Isn't it such a shame
But once I'm done, I can't be reclaimed
So it's either "goodbye" or "glad you came"
So is this temporary love?
I'm gonna start over, completely blank
Gonna save my love like a bank
Leave you to the fish, put you back in the tank
So tell me, teacher what is my rank
No thank you
The end's overdue, I'm finally through
What was this temporary love?
