Love's Bitter Embrace

Caught in a storm, I can’t find the calm

Fingers trace a line, the shadow of your palm

Drowning in the passion, suffocating in the calm

Why do I hate how much I love you?

Every word you whisper, like a spell that pulls me near

But every tender moment soon turns into dread and fear

I build these walls around me, but you sweetly break them down

Laughing in my chaos, you wear the love I found

And every sunrise feels like a thief,

Stealing me away from my own belief

It’s a crooked dance on a broken floor,

Two steps forward, and then I want out the door

Oh, I hate how much I love you,

Like fire in the rain, it burns right through

You’re the storm I can't outrun, the weight I can’t deny

Oh, I hate how much I love you,

But here I am, a fool that’s caught in your sky

In the midnight shadows, you’re the ghost I chase in vain ̵

Every laugh feels heavy, it drives me insane

You’re a beautiful mirage, in the desert of my mind

Chasing every dream, but leaving heartache behind

When I look into your eyes, I see both joy and pain,

A dangerous addiction, pouring love like rain

It builds me up, but tears me down,

I’m lost in the intoxicating sound

Oh, I hate how much I love you,

Like fire in the rain, it burns right through

You’re the storm I can't outrun, the weight I can’t deny

Oh, I hate how much I love you,

But here I am, a fool that’s caught in your sky

I scream to the moon, I scream to the stars,

Why do I surrender to my broken heart?

A bittersweet melody, stuck on repeat,

Loving you's a battle I’ll never defeat

Oh, I hate how much I love you,

Like fire in the rain, it burns right through

You’re the storm I can't outrun, the weight I can’t deny

Oh, I hate how much I love you,

But here I am, a fool that’s caught in your sky

So here’s my confessional, in the dark of the night

I’ll love you forever, even if it’s not right

Caught in your orbit, I can’t say goodbye

Oh, I hate how much I love you, I just can’t comply.
