The Honeymoon Is Definitely Over by Melodie Yvonne
Sittin’ here waitin’ and wonderin’ what’s next
I’m tryin’ to stay clean, but my life’s still a mess
I feel like I’m stuck, super glued into place
I look in the mirror and don’t know my own face
I’m running in circles and just standing still
I’m so fuckin’ tired ‘cause this shit’s all uphill
I’m keepin’ it simple and tryin’ to stay sober
But this fucking honeymoon’s definitely over
I’m lookin’ for you, but closin’ my eyes
I’m so fucking scared that I just wanna hide
I need somethin’ stable, but need somethin’ caustic
I’m sick of this ride and I wanna get off it
I’m needin’ some balance lookin’ for my medium
There’s gotta be somethin’ better than this tedium
Wanna be warm, but not set me on fire
I wanna be high, but don’t need to get higher
I’m running in circles and just standing still
I’m so fuckin’ tired ‘cause this shit’s all uphill
I’m keepin’ it simple and tryin’ to stay sober
But this fucking honeymoon’s definitely over
I just wanna run and not ever look back
I don’t fuckin’ know what keeps holding me back
Maybe I’m scared or maybe I’m just tired
Or maybe I do need to light me on fire
Maybe I need to just blow up my world
Put a bomb in my dumpster and let it explode
But everyone knows that the danger’s the shrapnel
That spews out & slices up happily ever after
I’m running in circles and just standing still
I’m so fuckin’ tired ‘cause this shit’s all uphill
I’m keepin’ it simple and tryin’ to stay sober
But this fucking honeymoon’s definitely over
Yeah, this fucking honeymoon’s definitely over
