Hey Violet - Dear Love Lyrics

Dear love
Where have you been?
Why did you break my heart again?
I thought you'd be here
You're just an illusion
You promised me you'd take care of my human
I do drugs to numb
You drink to forget
And we got along 'til it turned to regret
Did I scare you off
With all my feels?
You know, for a second I thought you were real
But

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Now who's gonna stop me from all my reckless behavior I don't know
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I hate all these feelings, I gotta get 'em out
I'm writing

Dear love (ah)
Why you tryna mess me up?
You got me writing dear love (ah)
Why you tryna mess me up?
God, it feels like
I'm out my head, I'm out my mind
I spill my thoughts on the dotted line
Dear love
I hate all these feelings, I gotta get 'em out right now

Dear love
I should have known
That you couldn't handle when I felt alone
I needed your care
Just longed for affection
I wanted acceptance, you wanted perfection

I gotta tell you I thought you were deeper, maybe a keeper
Thought you might be empathetic but you acted apathetic, oh
And now you're just a ghost

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Now who's gonna stop me from all my reckless behavior I don't know
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I hate all these feelings, I gotta get 'em out
I'm writing

Dear love (ah)
Why you tryna mess me up?
You got me writing dear love (ah)
Why you tryna mess me up?
God, it feels like
I'm out my head, I'm out my mind
I spill my thoughts on the dotted line
Dear love
I hate all these feelings, I gotta get 'em out right now

Ooh, ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ah-ah, ah-ah

Dear love
Why you tryna mess me up?
You got me writing dear love
Why you tryna mess me up?
