Lyrics

My Maudlin Career

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You kissed me on the forehead

Now these kisses give me concussion

We were love at first sight

Now this crush is crushing

I retraced your steps through the city of romance lazily

I took to the desert with your harshest words

And they saved me

I'll bail you out again I've got the readies

I'm not a child I know we're not going steady

Your pain's gigantic but it's not as big as your ego

I promise not to abandon you, please let me go

I harbored worried feelings

Like they were worth protecting

You say I'm too kind and sentimental

Like you could catch affection

In your eyes there's a sadness enough

To kill the both of us

Are those eyes overrated?

They make me want to give up on love

I'll brace myself for the loneliness

Say hello to feelings that I detest

This maudlin career must come to an end

I don't want to be sad again

This maudlin career must come to an end

I don't want to be sad again

This maudlin career must come to an end

I don't want to be sad again

This maudlin career must come to an end

I don't want to be sad again

This maudlin career must come to an end

I don't want to be sad again
