You know how they say (sexist-ly) women are turned off by effort, by being treated well
There’s a kernel of truth when socialized by chaos to put it in a nutshell
And I think of that every time I play with the little one
Like ‘there goes your mom falling even further away from love 😂’
I swore off getting attached
After too many little hearts breaking at break-ups
But she makes it hard not to
Just like her mom
And I wanna say it could last
To not have to walk away like that
Stay on good terms
No matter what happens
But then I think of how she couldn’t stand me lately
Still not quite back
And I know I’m on borrowed time twice over..
Somehow it all still feels worth it.
