Barely Love

You know that feeling when you live inside
someone that you cannot recognize
I hate it

The metaphors only hypothesize
but nothing's real as right before your eyes
I'll take it

A moment right before you take a leap
as if your heart is improvising beats
It's alarming

the crowd will cut her with its crooked teeth
but I can't help it given what I see
don't harm me

and so if this is love
I hardly know it
and so if this is love
It's barely true

you share more than a broken glance between
it's said that clothes can never go skin deep
let's prove it

our souls pretend as if they're something clean
the truth is that I've happened, once, to dream
about you
about you and me

and so if this is love
I hardly know it
and so if this is love
It's barely true to me
you've ruined every inch of me
forgotten
and there's only what you've built on top of it

i'll take the best of you and disregard
'cause we are our flaws, just like the stars;
imperfect
and for the record I'm a broken record, talkin' 'bout
love and it's funny cause I don't find it funny
at all

you know that moment when you live inside
a second slivered up a thousand times
you keep it

and it's "Fate! Fate!" that has brought you two
but this predisposition be the death of you
receive it

and so if this is love
I hardly know it
and so if this is love
It's barely true to me
you've ruined every inch of me
forgotten
and there's only what you've left, a scar, a fee
