The triangle is now a line

The triangle is now a line

V1

The hour hand hits 6am
Another sleepless night
I accept defeat, get out of bed
Another fruitless fight
A cigarette sits on my desk
I light up with relief
My mind relaxes with thanks to
The healing amber leaf

Chorus

My heart’s a war zone
Charred and unstable
I should’ve known
From times before
Love is just a fable

V2

Torn between two options
My heart’s a tug of war
A copious situation
Not sure who I’m fighting for
So it’s onward to the station
I need some alcohol
Some liquid reassurance leads to
A drunken phone call

Chorus

V3

Now my option has been chosen
I hope it’s the right one
Understanding the thoughts of women
Is easier said than done
I’ve learned a life lesson
Honesty isn’t the best policy
For an 18 year old boy
Who’s just out to have some fun

Chorus

V4

The worst thing about love
Is that nobody gets out alive
At the center of a triangle
I’m going to ruin a life
The tug of war is won
By the girl I rooted for
The triangle’s now a line
I’m not at the centre any more
