Sweet Until The Aftertaste

You love me and hold me like summer and spring
'Til you have a deadline to chase
You pour out the stories that fill up your days
Forget to ask for mine in exchange
You know your way around my... body
No need for directions, threw out the instructions
But when we need to talk, words wash over in a haze
You're sweet until the aftertaste

I love you and hold you like you're all I need
I'll lose sleep for my lover
Give you the world, give you all of me
You keep forgetting the flowers
I know my way around your body
No need for explanations, I understand verbatim
But when we need to talk, I am yelling at a wall
You're sweet until the aftertaste

That bellevue park it once was ours
And then we started fighting
Try to explain, you try the same
It's sinking in that it's not working
That bellevue park, i'm in your arms
But heartaches they bleed through bandaids
Walk one more round, suns coming down
But it's dawning on me-it's dawning on me

You tell me you don't want to lose me in your life
Now you're calling it off
I tell you, don't hesitate to reach out if you like
But I won't pick up your calls
I'm still picturing your body
Will you wonder what I'm doing?
Then we finally talk
It's clear what's best for us
Oh so sweet until the aftertaste
