Cohen - Lovesick (feat. Devin MacGillivray) Lyrics

I miss the feeling of butterflies
Now I just feel sick and expended inside

I miss the feeling of butterflies
Now I just feel sick and expended inside

I lost myself when I found you
I gave too much, only drove you away
Wore my heart on my sleeve, plain as day
I overused that three-word phrase
Drunk off the words you'd say
Engulfed by what felt surreal
I wanted you to be the only thing that I could feel
I wanted to believe what you spoke held truth
And that I really was the best thing to ever happen to you

Love held no "meant to be"
Simply a euphemism
For your chance to use me
And you know I'd let you use me
If it'd take my mind off of feeling empty

"It's not enough anymore
You're not enough anymore"
Is just insult to injury
Salt to an open sore

It's not enough anymore
I'm not enough anymore

Love wasn't a rose
Just a stem of thorns
Overgrown, lustful prose
Needing to be shorn

Through locked eyes and lips
No meaning was exchanged
Blank faced
Stared apathetic
Questioned everything
So deranged
You'll soon forget me
But I won't erase your face
You know the heart's not free
I know I'm easy to replace

Wishful thinking has worn me thin
What I thought once was
I know can never be again
We existed only in my mind
Nothing was ever real
Only regret in my chest
And the self-esteem you'd steal
I wish I wasn't in love
I wish you never let me be
I'm sorry I couldn't be what
Was expected of me
And I'm begging you
If you won't take me
Then please just rid of these dreams
So I might finally sleep

And I'm begging you
If you won't take me
Then please just rid of these dreams
So I might finally sleep
