Orange Peel

I'm not a people person
I'm barely a person myself
Still, you insist
On loving me
Now leave me alone or else

Or else what?
I don't know
I just want to be left alone

I'm bitter, bitter, bitter like an orange peel
Sour, sour, sour like the taste of steel
You can taste no sweetness in my gentle kiss
I'm chilly like a winter that can make tears freeze
And stay there like an icicle upon your cheeks
There's no better way I can emphasize this

Still, you're here
You won't budge
Is my hard outer shell not enough?
You love me
And me love you
But there's no way to tell if it's true
Is there a way?
I wouldn't know
I've never been in love but even so

I'm bitter, bitter, bitter like an orange peel
Sour, sour, sour like the taste of steel
You can taste no sweetness in my gentle kiss
I'm chilly like a winter that can make tears freeze
And stay there like an icicle upon your cheeks
There's no better way I can emphasize this

You still want me
We could try
Do you like bitter and sour? You might
But you're so cute
And so kind
I could never have someone so nice
You don't care
I guess you don't
Maybe I don't have to be alone

You're sweeter than sugar and you're soft as cream
The perfect thing to change my cup of black coffee
Life feels so insane, yet I feel so at home
Tell me is this love or was it just a waste
Cause I don't want to go back to my bitter place
I really like this flavor of love that I've been shown

I mean I think it's love
I'm not certain
But I think it's love
I think it's love
