Camera Obscura - My Maudlin Career

You kissed me on the forehead
Now this kiss is giving me a concussion
We were love at first sight
Now this crush is crushing
I retraced your steps
Through the city of romance lazily
I took to the desert with your harshest words
And they saved me

I'll bail you out again
I've got the readies
I'm not a child
I know we're not going steady
Your pain's gigantic
But it's not as big as your ego
I promise not to abandon you
Please let me go

I've harbored worried feelings like
They were worth protecting
You say I'm too kind and sentimental
Like you could catch affection

Oh in your eyes there's a sadness
Enough to kill the both of us
Are those eyes overrated?
They make me want to give up on love

I'll brace myself for the loneliness
Say hello to feelings that I detest

This maudlin career has come to an end
I don't want to be sad again
This maudlin career has come to an end
I don't want to be sad again

This maudlin career has come to an end
I don't want to be sad again

This maudlin career has come to an end
I don't want to be sad again
This maudlin career has come to an end
I don't want to be sad again
