lyrics

I could never be in love with you.
I can't let myself be your friend.
and for all the good it does,
I don't know you yet.

but every love song that I write,
it's addressed to you.
and every time I almost cry,
it's because of you.

damned if I do, only lonely if I don't;
I wish you could give me hope.

don't I deserve hope?

I am not afraid of you,
I'm afraid of the choice you give me.
I'm afraid of my answer.
as I should be.
as I should be.

cause every love song that I write,
it's addressed to you.
and every time I cry at night,
it's because of you.
and in my dreams you're always right,
you know how to fix me.
I don't know who else to trust;
I don't like the answers they give me.

damned if I do, only lonely if I don't;
I wish you could give me hope.
damned if I do, only lonely if I don't;
I wish you could give me hope.

cause every love song that I write
is addressed to you.
and every time I cry at night,
it's because of you.

I don't want to be in love with you.
I'm in love with the idea of you.

Romanus Boston, Massachusetts

I make a somewhat messy chimera of bedroom pop/chamber pop/alternative/folktronica. Hope it makes you feel something. I also make music with my sibling under the name Charlemagne's Angels, check us out!
