How Can We Fall In Love With What Isn't Real

Two days ago I found out that my new favorite musician is an A.I.

And yesterday we let love die

Today I am getting drunk

And tomorrow . . .

I don’t know what tomorrow will bring

But Goddamn

These lessons sting


She was my plan 

She was my future

And now

I couldn’t feel any stupider


How can we fall in love with what isn’t real?

Is being alone really that bad?


Maybe tomorrow I will get a motel room

And get really drunk 

And try not to feel anything


Maybe tomorrow I’ll try not to think


Maybe tomorrow I won’t feel on the brink


Maybe in a week or two

She’ll love me again


Maybe in a year or three

Someone whose ready will love me


Maybe in a fear 

Hides

My pride


Maybe everything I said and did was a lie?


Maybe that’s why I get so high?


I don’t want to feel this much . . .


I try not feel anything real at all


It's all . . . Too much


Maybe in a month 


I won’t miss her gentle touch as much


Maybe in a year or 8 I’ll shut the fuck up


Maybe we needed this . . .


Maybe I needed this . . .


Maybe we were living in a fantasy and this is our reality check. 


Maybe we made promises we shouldn’t have


Maybe we had hope we shouldn’t of


Maybe she isn’t my person


Maybe no one is . . .



Two days ago, I found out that my new favorite musician was A.I.

And yesterday we let love die

Today I am getting drunk

And tomorrow . . .

I don’t know what tomorrow will bring

But Goddamn

These lessons sting


Maybe love is a myth we created to combat our loneliness?


Yeah . . . Maybe that’s it.


Maybe in 100 years I’ll get over it.
