Oblivion

I learned my lesson, play with fire
And you'll be branded a thief, a liar
A woman known if you feel desire
For something simple, sexy, no strings attached
But they attach anyway, on your part of the party
And they tie to mine, so we're intertwined
But I don't want this if it's another lie
If you want to have more on the side
Tell me now so I can have mine
For my piece of mind
So I don't expect to be The One
The girl waiting for you to come home
Only to realize she'll be alone tonight
I can be prepared, I can reconstruct
The walls I've built, I can raise them up
I know how men are, how they're ruled by their dicks
I've been down that road, and it makes me sick
If that's all you want, tell me
So I can shut you out if I need
And I can block out our memories
So I can fight off those sappy dreams
That I dream when I start to feel
And when I fall, I fall hard
So don't make me fall unless the landing's soft
I'm okay with a watery love
Because it'll be cool, flowing, calm
I'm okay with a burning passion,
There's only lust to that stuff
But a cushioned concrete hurts so much
And then, when I fall, I feel enough
Pain to know it's a lie,
You and I
And I don't want that
Because I'm in the process of feeling so strong
And I don't want to know I've got it all wrong
So sing me to sleep, a sad love song
Let me drift off into oblivious love
