Motions

(album: Bad Dream Mad Again II - 2014)

Don't tell me you won't come around cause I know you'll come around in a minute
Don't tell me you can't shut it down cause I know you'll shut it down in an instant
Don't tell me that you're still in love cause I can see it in your eyes You're just going through the motions
You're going through the motions

And that's ok, it's a symptom of youth to lie to yourself and to try avoiding the truth
You been in love a couple times, you got the scars for the proof
So if you let it fall apart again you'll have no excuse
You've been going through the motions and when it's all in the open they'll have so much dirt on you that they could grow a million roses
But the longer you wait, the harder they fall
The louder the fight, the less they will call

You haven't been in love forever
You know it won't get better

Don't tell me you won't come around cause I know you'll come around in a minute
Don't tell me you can't shut it down cause I know you'll shut it down in an instant
Don't tell me that you're still in love cause I can see it in your eyes You're just going through the motions
You're going through the motions

Talk about me kindly with your girls when you are dining with them
Speak about the times that you stayed in because the time difference
What's so crazy I was waking up and y'all turning up
I would go to sleep, well y'all did too but y'all love late
I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss it, or somewhere down inside of me still believed it's realistic to think that we could work it out
To think that we could turn it 'round and go back to the places where the words "I love you" first came out our mouths

Bless you and your girlfriends and the path that y'all have chosen
I've completely come to terms with the fact that y'all have been broken
Before me, before we hit those restaurants and made love on those rooftops and swore that we would last until they Tupac me
Underneath it all you were the truest love I ever known
To foolish love I never gave enough space to grow
But enough about regrets and I hope that you don't take it wrong
But all your bullshit helped me write down all these fucking songs

You haven't been in love forever
You know it won't get better

Don't tell me you won't come around cause I know you'll come around in a minute
Don't tell me you can't shut it down cause I know you'll shut it down in an instant
Don't tell me that you're still in love cause I can see it in your eyes You're just going through the motions
You're going through the motions

You're just going through the motions
You're just going through the motions
Tell me that you're still in love, I see it your eyes
Just going through the motions, going through the motions
