I always hated cheesy love songs, and corny couple one liners.
Things like " We have a one of a kind bond" or "I can't wait to walk you down the aisle"
It always seemed weird to me, how they said those things so easily.
I didn't believe it, it seemed so naïve.
That's why I can't believe that I got deceived.

It may have her eyes.
It have been her hair.
I don't care, I'm still angry that gave in.
The scam of helpless love, and I'm still p*ssed that that I fell in.

In my garden of helpless mistakes, this one sits in the middle
Surrounded by the lavender, and as I wander, wander the cobble path.
I still wonder that, if I didn't fall for the scam.
Would I still be as happy as I am?

First love, I can't understand it.
To be quite honest, I can't stand it.
This seemed like foreign concept.
You find it on your first attempt, you take it, and you keep at your hearts content.

I didn't believe it, not for a second.
Then you came along.
And made me hum to that stupid love song.
The siren song of hopeless love, and I'm still p*ssed that I loved it.

In my garden of stupid mistakes, this one sits in the middle.
Surrounded by the lavender, and as I wander, wander the cobble path.
I still wonder that, if I didn't fall for the scam.
Would I still be as happy as I am.

I don't get it, why do I feel this way?
Feeling all the feelings I'm trying to push away?
Why do you to do this to me?
Your beautiful smile, displaying its silent mockery.

I hate it, I hate that I don't care.
The memories of hating this are not there.
I realized that I loved you, so I gave up.
I lost in the battle of guileless love, but I still love you and its not fair.

In my garden of memorable mistakes, this one sits on top.
Surrounded by the lavender, and I walk the cobble path.
I realize that without you.
I could've never been happy as I am.

I would never be happy as I am

This was just some song lyrics I made a long time ago, and even though I created them a long time ago I still think they relate to my current life experiences with romance.
