My Maudlin Career

My Maudlin Career - Camera Obscura

You kissed me on the forehead

Now these kisses give me concussion

We were love at first sight

Now this crush is crushing

I retraced your steps through the city of romance lazily

I took to the desert with your harshest words and they saved me

I'll bail you out again

I've got the readies

I'm not a child I know

We're not going steady

Your pain's gigantic but it's not as big as your ego

Promise not to abandon you please let me go

I harbored worried feelings

Like they were worth protecting

You say I'm too kind and sentimental

Like you could catch affection

Oh in your eyes there's a sadness

Enough to kill the both of us

Are those eyes overrated

They make me want to give up on love

I'll brace myself for the loneliness

Say hello to feelings that I despise

This maudlin career has come to an end

I don't want to be sad again

This maudlin career has come to an end

I don't want to be sad again

This maudlin career has come to an end

I don't want to be sad again

This maudlin career has come to an end

I don't want to be sad again

This maudlin career has come to an end

I don't want to be sad again
