Love Makes Me Sick

DL Parker

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love makes me sick—
The poems, the posts, the songs
All that “meant to be” crap
Just feels wrong
I’ve seen it break more people than it saves
So I kept my heart in a vault
And threw the key in a grave

[Chorus]
But then there was you—
Loud laugh, quiet eyes
And suddenly the cynic in me
Was wondering why
Why my chest felt lighter
Why your voice stuck around
I still don’t believe in forever
But damn, you slowed me down
And just for once...
Love’s not so bad

[Verse 2]
I’ve rolled my eyes at roses
Dodged every Valentine
Never trusted happy endings
'Cause they end bad every time
But you don’t try to fix me
just stand with me in the rain
And I hate how much I needed that
for once... loves not to blame

[Chorus]
Because of you—
With your mess and all your grace
And I find myself hoping
You’ll keep taking up more space
I still flinch at “forever”
Still don’t wear my heart out loud
But there’s something in your silence
That makes me kinda proud
And just for once...
Love’s not so bad

[Bridge]
You didn’t save me
You didn’t even try
You just saw me clearly
And calmly stood nearby

[Final Chorus]
So here’s my truce
You can hold my hand
I won’t promise always
But I’ll do the best I can
You cracked something open
With no script, and half a plan
And just for once...
Love’s not so bad
Yeah, just for once...
Love’s not so bad
