Overrated
Mika Lyrics

Words get broken
People's promises and commitments often fall through or are not kept, leaving me feeling disappointed and hurt.

Cut me open
I am vulnerable and exposed, and my emotional pain is palpable.

Love confound me
I am confused and lost in my feelings for someone, unsure of what to do or how to act.

Kill me quickly
The painful experience of love and heartbreak makes me feel like death would be a preferable option.

Breathe out breathe in
I am struggling to maintain my composure and finding it difficult to take life-sustaining breaths.

Throw me living
I am taking risks and living on the edge, even though it may lead to my ultimate downfall.

Off the deep end
I am in over my head and losing control of the situation.

While I'm sleeping
Even when I try to escape the tumultuousness of my waking life by sleeping, my subconscious is still haunted by my struggles.

I'm a crazy fool
My emotions have driven me to act irrationally and foolishly.

I'm a fool addicted
I am so infatuated with the object of my desire that I cannot see reason or resist their influence over me.

To the touch of you
The simple physical sensation of being near my love interests me and pulls me in deeper.

To your poison kisses
Even though I know that this relationship is toxic and damaging to me, I cannot resist the allure of their kisses.

What you got to lose?
My lover is not invested in me enough to risk anything significant, making our relationship feel empty and shallow.

What do you think this is?
My lover does not provide me with enough validation, leaving me uncertain about the nature of our relationship.

Nothing left to prove
My lover does not care enough about me to show me that I am worth fighting for or committing to.

And we know that love is
Love is often an overhyped and overrated concept that ultimately disappoints us.

Overrated
The idea of love and its supposed magical qualities are not enough to justify the heartbreak and turmoil it can cause.

Stars are magic
The poetic and romanticized conception of the universe is comforting and soothing to me.

Life is tragic
The harshness and cruelty of reality has left me feeling disillusioned and disenchanted with the world around me.

Crime of passion
The intense and all-consuming nature of my love causes me to act impulsively and sometimes detrimentally.

I'm just asking
All I want is some small sense of solace and respite from the emotional turmoil I am going through.

Offered up my wrist
I put myself in harm's way and gave my love the power to hurt me, even though I knew it was dangerous.

And you thought you hit it
My lover thought they had finally found a way to really hurt me and break me, but they were mistaken.

But your arrow missed
My lover's attempts to harm me fell short and did not have the devastating effect they had hoped for.

Couldn't kill me with it
I am more resilient than my lover gave me credit for, and their attempts to hurt me only made me stronger.

All I asked of you
I wanted my lover to help free me from the painful cycle I was caught in, but they were unable to do so.

Was to free my pain
I wanted my lover to help me move past my emotional pain and find peace in our relationship, but they were not able to give me what I needed.

So you couldn't do
My lover was not capable of providing me with the love and support I needed to overcome my pain.

This to me again
I cannot continue to let my lover cause me so much pain and turmoil. I need to move on and find someone who can give me what I need.
