Camera Obscura - My Maudlin Career

You kissed me on the forehead
Now these kisses give me concussion
We were love at first sight
Now this crush is crushing
I retraced your steps through the city of romance lazily
I took to the desert with your harshest words
And they saved me

I'll bail you out again I've got the readies
I'm not a child I know we're not going steady

Your pain's gigantic but it's not as big as your ego
I promise not to abandon you, please let me go

I harbored worried feelings
Like they were worth protecting
You say I'm too kind and sentimental
Like you could catch affection
In your eyes there's a sadness enough
To kill the both of us
Are those eyes overrated?
They make me want to give up on love

I'll brace myself for the loneliness
Say hello to feelings that I detest

This maudlin career must come to an end
I don't want to be sad again
This maudlin career must come to an end
I don't want to be sad again
This maudlin career must come to an end
I don't want to be sad again

This maudlin career must come to an end
I don't want to be sad again
This maudlin career must come to an end
I don't want to be sad again
