It's Problematic

I’m not in love with your attitude,

but I’m in love with your face.

I’m always striving for dignity,

except when I’m passed out on the floor.

I’m only hoping for the best,

and unprepared for the worst.

It’s Problematic.

I’m only in it for the laughs,

why don’t you take me seriously?

I’m just here for the fun,

buy levity is tiresome,

Let me hold that door,

you’re strong enough for us both.

It’s Problematic.

Hold me at night when I’m sad,

but please don’t touch me.

Share everything with me,

but please be quiet.

Show me how you like to live,

but can you hurry it up?

It’s Problematic.

I just want to love you,

why don’t you feel it too?

I want to do it all on my own,

but please show me the way.

Fix the things that make me ill,

but don’t trouble yourself.

It’s Problematic.

Let’s build a house and a life,

throw off the shackles of the world

and strife, get it to be the way we like,

take it on and damn them all,

we can do it if we try, I’m sure we can

break away.

It’s Problematic.

Well, I do have that job, you have your

work. Pay the bills and stock the shelves.

It’s only dreaming in a playful way,

It’s not the truth but it’s what I’ll say.

I’ll smile and sigh it’s okay,

even though it’s not.

It’s Problematic.
