The Letdown

Glances from you make me swoon

I didn’t understand at first

I thought I’d be immune

~

I was sweating like a monsoon

I thought my heart would burst

It was blowing up like a balloon

~

Glances from you made me swoon

In you I was immersed

I knew it would be over soon

~

I tried my best to attune

But it turned for the worst

I fell back to stare at the moon

~

The whole thing felt like a cartoon

Was it me who was cursed

Or was it this goon

~

In your arms I came to ruin

Almost like it was rehearsed

Now all I wanted was the moon

And to dance to a new tune
