can't fix love (Matheus L. Duarte)
You hammered nails into our bed’s headboard
The wardrobe’s frail, but you said you could fix that too
And I answered: “do we even have glue?”
You always complain when I try to think forward
But monday’s gonna rain, what if we have to buy more?
Who’s driving to the store?
Isn’t it dangerous to drive in the storm?
Isn’t it best for us to just conform that... some things cannot be fixed?
We swore this house would be made of bricks
But it’s not, you can’t fix that now
We perform happiness whenever we’re taking pics
But we’re not, you can’t fix that now
Wipe the floor, clean the mess you’ve made trying to take the pie out of the oven
While it’s hot, you can’t fix that now
But I’ll say this:
I’m infatuated with architecture
Antique, specifically
Am I fake if I dislike a sculptor
But I’m weak for their artistry?
Cause you can make human-like sculptures
Greek, like Phidias did
And I could bake a second pie but i'm not sure...
...if this is what i want for me
