i've given up on love
I
I don't belong here
Don't speak the language
Don't wanna learn
I
Have high expectations
And lowering patience
With every turn
They don't want my thoughts no more
They just want my body
I just wanna be adored
But no one wants to earn me
Why can't I have kisses on my doorstep
Why can't he make sure I got home safe
Used to dream of peonies and roses colored red
But now instead of dates he only asks me in his bed
I was born in the wrong era
Only brought the stains of my mascara
I've given up on love
They
They'll never get enough
Want more than one of us
It's all a game
They don't wanna fall in love
See it as restricting
I just wanna trust someone
But they'll use it against me
Why can't I have kisses on my doorstep
Why can't he make sure I got home safe
Used to dream of peonies and roses colored red
But now instead of dates he only asks me in his bed
I was born in the wrong era
Only brought the stains of my mascara
I don't trust my generation
Can't seem to hold anyone's attention
I've given up on love
I don't believe it's real
Faded over the years
I see it in my father's eyes
But it's lost on mine
Why can't I have kisses on my doorstep
Why can't he make sure I get home safe
Used to think he'd come around
And prove I'd got it wrong
But I was born in the wrong era
Dried up are the stains from my mascara
I've given up on love
Make me believe in love
I don't belong here
Don't speak the language
Don't wanna learn
I
Have high expectations
And lowering patience
With every turn
They don't want my thoughts no more
They just want my body
I just wanna be adored
But no one wants to earn me
Why can't I have kisses on my doorstep
Why can't he make sure I got home safe
Used to dream of peonies and roses colored red
But now instead of dates he only asks me in his bed
I was born in the wrong era
Only brought the stains of my mascara
I've given up on love
They
They'll never get enough
Want more than one of us
It's all a game
They don't wanna fall in love
See it as restricting
I just wanna trust someone
But they'll use it against me
Why can't I have kisses on my doorstep
Why can't he make sure I got home safe
Used to dream of peonies and roses colored red
But now instead of dates he only asks me in his bed
I was born in the wrong era
Only brought the stains of my mascara
I don't trust my generation
Can't seem to hold anyone's attention
I've given up on love
I don't believe it's real
Faded over the years
I see it in my father's eyes
But it's lost on mine
Why can't I have kisses on my doorstep
Why can't he make sure I get home safe
Used to think he'd come around
And prove I'd got it wrong
But I was born in the wrong era
Dried up are the stains from my mascara
I've given up on love
Make me believe in love
