lyrics

I've got such a large palette for love
But my heart is much too small
I can't stomach big love at all

The computer is your alibi
For temptation's call
I can't stomach big love at all

I've been eaten by the monster of love again
I've seen the illusion of seein' clearly through a cracked lense
I've been eaten by the monster of love again and again
I'm my best wingman and my worst friend

I've lost out on a year of my life
A year of loneliness
Yet those memories stick out the best

The pain, the strife, the uncertainty, the nascent bitterness
Those memories stick out the best
