The Ordinary Boys
Ballad of an Unrequited Self-Love Affair
It's such a complicated situation
It always ends up in a fight
What I wouldn't give for some isolation
But I'm gonna stay with me tonight

I catch my gaze across the bedroom
We only need some time alone
Lost in a haze of self indulgence
Oh what's indulgence on your own?

It's an unrequited self love affair and it's not fair
I need to be there for myself but I'm not there

I am a danger to myself, let alone anyone else
I am a danger to myself, oh oh oh

I've such a needless need for vindication
I've gotta show myself you see
If only for stealing all the covers
And for taking advantage of me

I like to tell myself "I love you"
Even if from behind grinding teeth
Sometimes I'm sure I half believe it
Am I getting the better of me

It's an unrequited self love affair and it's not fair
I need to be there for my self but I'm not there

I am a danger to myself let alone anyone else
I am a danger to my self oh oh oh

It's an unrequited self love affair and it's not fair
I need to be there for myself but I'm not there
