Similar Fires

Don’t let yourself get carried away again
keep those hopes nice and realistic
You just aren’t that special, are you?
I doubt she really thinks so
Remember where your place is now
no matter what you want it to be
Works towards something greater, sure,
but keep yourself in check for now
She ain’t that into you, you know?
Not nearly as much as you are her
and you aren’t gonna change that
by letting fantasies run wild
In fact, you probably won’t change that at all
best to walk away while you can
…but you can’t, can you?
You’re gonna keep on going back
no matter what you tell yourself
Ah well, a pity to get burned
again and again by similar fires
but such is life as a fool, I suppose
I’ll keep the bandages nearby
for the burns and broken heart
