Tick Tock Love

[Verse] He called me sugar, then turned up the heat, A sweet little dance, with lies on repeat, He’s got that charm, a devil in a tie, But his smooth talk's just smoke in the sky. [Verse 2] We’re like a jitterbug on a broken floor, Spinning ‘round circles, wanting much more, He’s a melody that's way off key, Can’t tell if it's him, or is it really me. [Chorus] Tick tock love, never on the beat, He’s a tangled tune that I can’t delete, We swing and sway, in a fractured duet, A toxic twist, I ain’t ready to forget. [Verse 3] He strums my heartstrings, plays a twisted chord, Makes a fool of love, a jester adored, Each stolen kiss, like a cut on a spool, In his game of love, I’m just the fooled fool. [Verse 4] His whispers linger, like a pesky fly, Honeyed words, that sour by and by, He’s the laugh in my cry, the burn in my sigh, A diamond in the rough, but why, oh why? [Bridge] Caught in his tango, yet I still crave, The rollercoaster ride that love behaves, A merry-go-round of sweet despair, Holding on, like it'll repair.
