Cherry Chapstick
Cherry Chapstick: Love's Bitter Symphony
Lyrics
I spend too many hours
The speaker invests excessive time in selecting the right flowers.
Picking out the right kind of flowers
Expresses weariness of routine or predictable events, like April showers.
I'm tired of April showers
Contrasts the sweetness of the person with the speaker's own sour disposition.
She's sweet but I'm so sour
The speaker acknowledges a cynical perspective on life.
I guess that I'm just a cynic
Feeling of pain or disappointment when optimism is betrayed.
It hurts every time I think it's
The speaker experiences hurt when they believe something will go well but it doesn't.
Always keeping me awake
The situation constantly bothers the speaker, preventing peaceful rest.
Low budget, don't worry
Not focused on extravagant spending; unconcerned about finances.
I love when her makeup gets dirty
The speaker finds appeal in the disheveled appearance of the person they're attracted to.
Her chapstick, like cherries
Comparing the taste of the person's lip balm to cherries, a pleasant sensation.
Keeps me coming back for more
The cherry-like chapstick is an enticing factor for the speaker.
Low budget, don't worry

And I'll wither away just so she can bloom
Expresses a willingness to sacrifice for the person's benefit.
I'm not the perfect prince she pursued
Admits to not being the ideal partner the person sought.
But I can still taste the smell of her perfume
Memories of the person's scent linger despite the imperfections in the relationship.
I'm in agony
The speaker is in emotional distress or pain.
What did I do to deserve this
Questioning the reason for facing such agony or distress.

I was blind cuz you're not perfect
Realization that the person is flawed despite being perceived as perfect.
I don't wanna talk
Desire to avoid conversation or communication.
I don't wanna feel
Desire to numb emotions or escape feeling anything.
I just need some time to re-depressed and I don't wanna heal cuz

Your green dress and those high heels
