lyrics

My manner is imperious, my logic is empirical
And I’m bad at being a girlfriend so I’m hoping for a miracle
I fear your disappointment when I don’t turn out ethereal
Though either way for me I know it means some new material

Now don’t go thinking that you’re special just because you are
‘Cause I’m bound to overthink it and I always go too far
But if you think this kind of tempest may just be your cup of tea
Then I’d like to offer you the heart of me

Each attempt to clarify serves only to confuse
And it feels just like a fracture but it looks more like a bruise
And my heart can’t bear the weight of one more empty “I love you”
And I’ve strained my eyes to blindness trying to find a point of view

Now don’t go thinking that I’m crazy just because I am
‘Cause I wouldn’t act indifferent if I didn’t give a damn
And if you think this kind of tempest may just be your cup of tea
Then I’d like to offer you the heart of me

Now don’t go thinking that I love you just because I do
‘Cause I’ve never met a certainly I couldn’t misconstrue
And if you think this kind of tempest may just be your cup of tea
Then I’d like to offer you the heart of me
