defying the odds
Crashing Hearts: Love's Rebellion in Defying Odds
Lyrics
I think about you, and the words start to evaporate
I reflect on you, and my words vanish.
It's not, as if, i'd snap my fingers and you'd reciprocate
It's not easy; I can't make you respond instantly.
An arm around my shoulder and a kiss in betty's garden
An intimate gesture and a kiss in Betty's garden don't define a relationship.
Doesn't a relationship quite make
Mocking you was a tactic to provoke a reaction.
I, made a mockery of you just to get a reaction
I made a joke of you to elicit a response.
I, took emotion of any kind shown as an attraction
I treated any displayed emotion as if it were an attraction.
A spilled drink made me think of when i spilled my guts to you
A spilled drink triggers memories of confessing to you.
You didn't have a clue i loved you
You were oblivious to my love.
If i could only change your genetics
If I could alter your genetics, pursuing you wouldn't seem desperate.
Chasing after you wouldn't sound pathetic, oh
Chasing you feels pathetic, given the circumstances.
I didn't have a chance
I had no opportunity.
We crashed and burned defying the odds
We faced challenges but defied the odds.
It never felt so right till it went wrong
It felt right until it went wrong.
Forcing, a friendship was alright for as long as it lasted
Forcing a friendship was fine until it lasted.
Till me, being sincere, was demoted to being a bastard
My sincerity turned me into a bastard.
I tried to get you to say something you didn't mean at all
I tried to provoke insincere words from you.
Now you resent me for wanting what you aren't
Now you resent me for desiring what you aren't.
If i could only change your genetics
If I could change your genetics, pursuing you wouldn't seem desperate.
Chasing after you wouldn't sound pathetic, oh
Chasing you feels pathetic, given the circumstances.
I didn't have a chance
I had no opportunity.
We crashed and burned defying the odds
We faced challenges but defied the odds.
It never felt so right till it went wrong
It felt right until it went wrong.
I'm not strong enough to forget you
I'm not strong enough to forget you.
Screw my muscle memory
Disregard my muscle memory.
Screw the way you made me feel
Ignore how you made me feel.
And all the drunk nice things you said to me
And all the kind things you said to me when drunk.
I wish i caught you staring
I wish I caught you looking at me.
And called you out right then and there
I would have confronted you then and there.
I wonder what you used to think of me
I wonder what opinion you used to have of me.
If you even cared
If you ever cared.
If i could only change your genetics
If I could change your genetics, pursuing you wouldn't seem desperate.
Chasing after you wouldn't sound pathetic, oh
Chasing you feels pathetic, given the circumstances.
I didn't have a chance
I had no opportunity.
We crashed and burned defying the odds
We faced challenges but defied the odds.
It never felt so right till it went wrong
It felt right until it went wrong.
No it never felt so right till it went…
It never felt so right until it went wrong.
