when we fell in love
cupid must have fashioned an arrow out of titanium
to break the perfectly polished steel spine you built up
must have had blueprints to your heart that he lent me
so i could unlock that vault you knew all too well
hid your misery under padlocked protection
and sanctioned love as if it were a rare element
but you didnt understand that on the periodic table when U and I are together
they cant even contain us on that motherfucker
so we made our own rules.
our own lives.
and i became a wordsmith
creating shining similes and marvelous metaphors
like they were pieces of metal made to pick a lock so tight that even your parents gave up trying to figure it out a long time ago.
and i made compliments that kept your heart pumping like a pacemaker
when all you wanted to do was quit
so i guess i was your mechanic.
kept you in tune and replaced leaking eyes as if they were oil
