Story of My life

I hate love

Hi

Here’s a little story of my life

Just turned 19

And I feel that loves a lie

And here’s why

Its never unconditional

Maybe you’re both delusional

Promises get broken

Feed into what their saying

They say love is spiritual

Well to Aphrodite I’ve been praying

All of this hoping

And no romances are produced

No by the way I love yous

So why do we still believe

In a happy teenage fantasy

I was a hopeless romantic

But all the movies lied

Shit like that will never happen in this mundane life

Stop feeding me bullshit

On the internet

About how happy you are together

hate to break it to you

But he’s been cheating since forever

And maybe hell change

Probably never

Marriage is a promise to be the witness of your life

Not a promise of love for the rest of time

And the bitches who claim that they’re happy all the time

Let me read your notes app

On second thought

Yeah right
