Dark Cold Magic - The Blow

Let’s be real- every broken-hearted song

I ever wrote was about you

I’ve got it figured out: you can’t feel

No surprise feelings bore you

You wouldn’t need them, I do your feeling for you

And I guess it’s how you planned it to be:

I’m on call for your emotional protection

And you can only love what you see

I guess I fall with all that slips from your detection

But what happened to the love that I aimed your direction?

Does it hang around your head like a cloud?

Did it dissipate with the hot winds that blow out of your mouth?

It’s not that I would argue that you’re a bad person

It seems your heart’s too big for your chest

So you trim off all the edges and attempt to love with whatever’s left

It’s a dark cold magic that could make you love me

I don’t wanna be the me I know you would want

It’s a dark cold magic that could make you want me

I don’t wanna be the me I know you would love

Let’s be real- I have always been your girl

It’s just the way that you drew me

You said you could undo me

These are the terms of my existence

It’s this or nothing, how could I resist it?

And I think it’s how you planned it to be

I hang around and I’m down for whatever you’re into

And the things that you said still rattle inside me

Like a broken off piece

I don’t think you meant to break me

But what happens to the love that you take from me?

Does it hang around your head like a cloud?

Did it dissipate with the hot winds that blow out of your mouth?

It’s not that I would argue that you’re a bad person

It seems your heart’s too big for your chest

So you trim off all the edges and attempt to love with whatever’s left

It’s a dark cold magic that could make you love me

I don’t wanna be the me I know you would want

It’s a dark cold magic that could make you want me

I don’t wanna be the me I know you would love

Let’s be real—I have never seen you cry

I think your eyes wouldn’t let you

Their job is to forget how you feel

Pretend your heart’s not broken

When feelings find you

They grab their necks and choke them

And I think it’s how you planned it to be

I do all of your emotional deflection

And you can only love what you see

Your feelings only grow

More cruel when you reject them

But what happened to the love that I aimed your direction?

Does it hang around your head like a cloud?

Did it dissipate with the hot winds that blow out of your mouth?

It’s not that I would argue that you’re a bad person

It seems your heart’s too big for your chest

So you trim off all the edges and attempt to love with whatever’s left

It’s a dark cold magic that could make you love me

I don’t wanna be the me I know you would want

It’s a dark cold magic that could make you want me

I don’t wanna be the me I know you would love
