My---Love
Terence Etc. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She was dark and lovely
Didn′t see that crazy coming
Didn't see no beauty leavin′
Didn't see much of nothin' really
Cuz it was all a blur
Me and her
Million miles per
We in love and do not care

And I was on my masochistic shit
Me hurtin′ me
She hurtin′ she
Equal opportunity
I'm damaging my sanity
Thinkin′ we could make it work
That's complacency
Nth degree
L.O.V.E

Me, an arrogant fool
She was unstable too
She had that learners stance
Fatherless with no chance
Plus she the strong headed type
Fisticuffs when we fight
Swinging wild, that′s her style
Her bite match her bark, woah child

Now I'm done
And free
Used all our mercy
I haven′t seen her in some years
And that's how its gotta be
Cause unfortunately
That's the intensity of my first L.O.V.E

My first love
My first love
My first love
My first love
My first love
My first love

Feeding on each other and loving every minute
I′m not grown

Tasted like right at first but in the end all wrong
I′m not grown
No, I'm not grown
Not grown

She was dark and lovely
But I saw the crazy coming
Did it anyway cause she was there what can I say
I was passive aggressive, undressed, all of the above
As we thought we were in love

And we were right
For a second and no more
She pulled me along through her peace and her wars
What for?
Went from sleeping on the couch, to the bed, to the floor
Flew through her life like a big bird condor

She often said my heart wanders
And that she couldn′t ponder
Nuptials
Romance
Intercourse
I wonder
If she was correct well yeah my heart wanders
But far more careful than hers

As it were she was only sort of with me
And with whomever was indeed
In need of her loving
Except, of course, me
As you would expect
I think my 7th... I think my 7th year

And that's love
Yeah, that′s love
Oh, that's love
Yeah, that′s love
Oh, that's love
Yeah, that's love

Just so you know my lust
Is still very fresh
I′m not grown

I want you simply
And even now
You could care less
What a joke
What a terrible joke

Hahaha




Hahaha
Ha ha ha haaaaa
